Museo de la Memoria, Human rights museum in Rosario, Argentina.
The Museo de la Memoria occupies a modernist house built in 1928 by Rosario architect Ermete De Lorenzi as his family residence. From the mid-1960s the Argentine Army used it as headquarters of the II Army Corps Command. Since December 2010 it has housed the municipal museum on state terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s, with a permanent exhibition on the ground floor, temporary shows on the first floor and the Iván Hernández Larguía auditorium in the basement.
The building was constructed in 1928 and initially served as the command center of an army corps. It was later transformed into a memorial space to honor and remember those affected by dictatorship.
The museum holds stories of people who disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship, displaying personal belongings and photographs from that period. Visitors can directly experience how these events shaped the lives of families and communities.
The museum occupies the former II Army Corps command building at Córdoba and Moreno, about 100 m from the former Servicio de Informaciones police centre. The permanent exhibition is on the ground floor, temporary shows on the first floor, and the Iván Hernández Larguía auditorium in the basement. The building is part of Rosario's climate-shelter network, offering free temporary refuge during heat waves.
The building stands 100 metres from the former Servicio de Informaciones de la Policía de Santa Fe, one of the province's main clandestine detention centres. Before the museum moved in, the restored house housed the Rock & Feller's bar in the late 1990s. It is also part of Rosario's climate refuge network, offering free shelter during heat waves.
