Of all the museums and monuments dedicated to the poet that are scattered across his doting homeland, Museo-Archivo Rubén Darío seems like the one where you’d be most likely to run into his ghost.
Exhibits are displayed throughout the house where he lived until he was a teenager, ranging from everyday items – more a window into well-to-do Nicaragua in the late 1800s – to handwritten manuscripts of Darío’s famous works.
Darío’s final resting place is the León cathedral.
His bible, the bed where he died ‘an agonizing death’ and the fancy duds he wore as the ambassador to Spain are just highlights among the historic bric-a-brac.
