Fodor's Expert Review Casa de la Memoria

This museum bears witness to the nation's tempestuous and violent past by commemorating the victims, investigating the roots of the conflict, and offering a hopeful view of the future. The museum's slogan, "Stories that move us to build peace," conveys its mission through the use of engaging, and at times heartrending, exhibitions that take visitors deep into the country's collective memory. Even if you don't speak a word of Spanish, the museum is worth a visit as there is enough information in English to get by, and some of the powerful video interviews are subtitled. Tours can be arranged in advance through the website.
