With a cost of over 167 million pesos, the community questions the lack of access and the provisional stage of its equipment.
The recently inaugurated La Cacaotera Regional Museum in Villahermosa has generated great expectations among the region’s inhabitants, but unfortunately, it remains closed to the public.
Currently, the building, which was intended to serve as a café, is being used as a base for police officers, raising concerns about its future and functionality.
The inauguration, held a month ago, aimed to highlight the history and culture of cacao, an emblematic product of the region. However, despite its opening, the museum has not been able to fulfill its mission of educating and attracting visitors.
Hugo Velázquez, a daily passerby in the area, expressed his concern: “It’s good that museums are created, but it’s bad that this one is still not open to the public. It was a great expense and there’s a lack of promotion of Tabasco’s culture.” His comment reflects the sentiment of many citizens who hope the museum will fulfill its cultural purpose.
Additionally, during a tour conducted by Grupo Cantón, it was noted that the museum’s electrical supply is installed provisionally, adding doubts about the space’s readiness to receive visitors.
As expectations grow, the community wonders when they will be able to enjoy this cultural space. The lack of access to the museum not only limits the use of its facilities but also hinders the promotion of cacao as a vital part of Tabasco’s identity.
The effective opening of the La Cacaotera Regional Museum is crucial to fulfilling the promises made during its inauguration and strengthening cultural tourism in the region. Citizens are awaiting answers about its opening and the real purpose of this significant space.
