Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion

The museum occupies 7,573 square meters within a concrete structure that incorporates design elements reflecting the natural cliffs of Costa Verde in Lima.

The museum stands as a memorial to individuals affected by the internal armed conflict in Peru between 1980 and 2000, presenting exhibits about this period.

Through multiple exhibition rooms, the museum presents information about social divisions and historical events that shaped contemporary Peruvian society.

Located at Bajada San Martin 151, the museum operates Monday through Friday with extended hours and provides complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the facility.

The building features a series of platforms forming the Esplanade of Reconciliation, where local reeds and materials from surrounding cliffs create an outdoor civic space.
