Museo Casa de la Memoria

Museo Casa de la Memoria is a history museum in Medellín dedicated to documenting violence and social transformation. Its rooms display photographs, personal objects, and digital installations that capture the lives and experiences of people during difficult periods.

The museum was founded in 2012 to preserve memories of conflict periods in Colombia, particularly the years of intense violence in Medellín. Its creation was part of the city's efforts to officially acknowledge this chapter of its history and document it for future generations.

The museum shares stories of people whose lives were shaped by violence and creates space to think about healing and moving forward together. Visitors encounter how communities are learning to process their past and rebuild relationships.

The museum is free to enter and located near Medellín's city center, easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should allow time to move through the exhibitions at their own pace, as the content is emotionally meaningful.

The museum features a specialized research library where visitors can use interactive displays and touchscreen computers to explore stories in greater depth. These resources allow people to discover personal perspectives on historical events that extend beyond the main exhibitions.
