The Pedro Infante Museum (Museo El Rincón de Pedro Infante) in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico is about the life of Pedro Infante, a famous Mexican Actor and Singer who was born in Mazatlán.
This is a family run museum. The family that operates the museum bought the house where the museum resides without knowledge that Pedro Infante was born there. Later on they learned that he was born there. With the blessing of Pedro Infante's relatives they formed this museum at the front of their house. Many memorabilia items were given by Pedro's family to the museum.

Pedro Infante was born in Mazatlan on November 18, 1917 in the house that is this museum.
During his adolescence he lived in northern Sinaloa where he worked in carpentry, barbering, baking, shoe shining, and music like his father and even flew planes to spray fields.
He began his career as a singer at the age of 17 in an orchestra that he formed called La Rabia. He did this out of economic necessity.
In his 14 year professional career he recorded 64 films and 458 songs!
He died in a tragic plane crash at 39 years of age. His funeral was attened by more than 100 thousand people. It was a national mourning and the end of the golden age of Mexican cinema.
There are a number of rooms in the museum. Each room has many photos on the walls.
There is also a bunch of his and his co-stars' original memorabilia from his movies.
There are also a couple of sets where you can get photos and be in photos with Pedro Infante! We especially love the one where you can have a shot with Pedro!
