Museo de Memoria de Colombia

Museo de Memoria de Colombia, National history museum in Teusaquillo, Bogotá, Colombia.

The Museo de Memoria de Colombia is an unfinished museum building on Avenida de las Américas in Teusaquillo, Bogotá, planned with 14,139 square metres, five exhibition halls and a children's play library. Construction by the Spanish firm OHL began in April 2020 and stopped in the second half of 2023; the site stands abandoned and is described as a white elephant.

The museum was founded in 2011 to document and preserve memories of decades of armed confrontation in the country. This initiative was part of Colombia's efforts to process and acknowledge the past.

The museum has so far existed only as an itinerant project, a proposal put forward by victims of violence in Colombia as part of a national culture of remembrance. Its name refers to memory and reparation rather than to a finished building, and the planned playroom (ludoteca) was meant for children.

The unfinished structure stands on Avenida de las Américas, near the Avenida Eldorado underpass, a few steps from the Centro Administrativo Distrital, the Mederi clinic and the Bogotá Concejo building. The TransMilenio Concejo de Bogotá station serves the site. The plot was donated by the Mayor's Office of Bogotá; the work has been abandoned since the second half of 2023, so it cannot be entered.

The planned building covers 14,139 square metres and was to hold five exhibition halls plus a games library. Construction began in April 2020 under the Spanish firm OHL, with a budget of 64,281 million pesos, and was meant to open in 2022. Work has stood abandoned since the second half of 2023.
