Add PhotosThe Leon Trotsky House Museum, also known as the Trotsky Museum, in Mexico City's Coyoacán neighborhood, is a tribute to Leon Trotsky and an advocate for political asylum. Officially named Instituto del Derecho de Asilo - Museo Casa de León Trotsky (Right of Asylum Institute – Leon Trotsky House Museum), it preserves the home where Trotsky and his wife lived until his assassination in 1940. The museum retains the house's original layout, notably the study where Ramón Mercader fatally attacked Trotsky with an ice axe. Surrounded by gardens and fortified walls, the site also includes a transformed handball court hosting a library, gallery, and offices, serving as the museum's entrance. Designated a historical monument in 1982, it became the museum and asylum institution in 1990, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Trotsky's assassination.
