Museum Martínez-Holguín
Martínez-Holguín House (Spanish: Casa Museo Martínez-Holguín) is a historic house museum in Atocha parish, in the northern suburbs of Ambato, Ambato Canton, Tungurahua Province, Ecuador. It is situated in the Botanical Garden Atocha-La Liria, and dates to 1865, when it was built by Dr. Nicolás Martínez Vasconez.[1] Since then, it has been the residence of several notable figures, including Luis A. Martínez, the author of the novel A la Costa and Minister of State and Education, who established the Colegio Normal de Agricultura in Ambato, and scientist Augusto Nicolás Martínez. It has since been converted into a wax museum.
