"Museo Casa de la Memoria This sobering museum reminds visitors that Colombia’s beauty, natural and otherwise, has often coexisted with civil war and its brutal violence. Galleries present stories and images as well as survivor, victim, and ex-combatant testimonies. Many artists have contributed portrayals of the war—but perhaps the experience with the strongest emotional impact at the museumis simply watching thevideos in whichvictims of the violence tell their stories.

A must see to learn the history of Columbias political and social struggles from the 1940’s -2016. Lots of information and interactive exhibits. One can spend two hours easily if you like to read. I highly recommend it for the history or cultural buff.

I came on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was free to get in. This is a museum that everybody who visits Medellín should come see. I thought I knew about the violence that Colombia endured in the 20th century, but I had no idea how bad it was. The museum is heavy no doubt it also helps you appreciate how the country is today. I mean, if you’re already in Colombia, then you know what an amazing country that is and how welcoming the people are. I hope that they will learn from their past and never let it repeat ever again.

Free entry. Good to know some interesting facts about Colombia, but it's pity there's barely no English explanation.

This is an incredibly moving Museum and a must-see. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore it fully.

A moving narrative in various media forms. It gives visitors a better understanding of the trauma on people, Colombian society, and how it so deeply has impactedives, social awareness, the arts and self-awareness today across generations.

Signs had English and audio tour available. Only one exhibition was open can be completed in 20 to 40 mins but everything is at own pace. Not the best musuem I've been to but very informative

The Casa de la Memoria Museum was established by victims and organizations aiming to address the impacts of armed conflict and violence in Medellín, Antioquia, and across Colombia. It stands as a place for public acknowledgment and healing, utilizing various forms of expression, including art, cultural events, and academic discussions. Overall, the museum is relatively small but packed with informative exhibits. It includes an outdoor garden area, which provides exciting views of the museum's structure, especially toward the front entrance walkway. Visitors are advised to stay close to the museum, as some nearby areas can be less welcoming due to the occasional presence of homeless individuals and shady areas. I felt comfortable visiting during the day, but I'm unsure about the atmosphere during the evening or night.

You must visit! It will tell you the history about Medellin and its very interactive so it should take you about an hour to actually see everything
