Considering about half of Leon is named after him, it's perhaps not surprising that the former home of Ruben Dario is now a museum. Exhibits chronicle his life and work, including numerous photographs, letter, and even a death-mask. Many rooms in the house, such as the bedroom, remain as he left them, giving an interesting insight into Nicaraguan life in the 19th century.
