Today, the museum houses a comprehensive collection artifacts and memorabilia which elucidate upon the life and works of one of the most noteworthy citizens of Veracruz. Spread over eight rooms, the Little White House Museum displays pictures from Lara's boyhood, his family and friends while also his various influences during the different phases of his celebrated career.

The museum is frequented by the locals of Veracruz, who pay their homage to the strains of 'Piensa en mí' or 'think about me' every evening.
