Museo Casa de la Memoria
The
Museum

The House of Memory Museum was created in 2006 – as a project inside the Victim Assistance Program of Medellin City Hall – aiming to contribute from the memory exercise to open and plural dialogues, critical and reflective, to understanding and overcoming the armed conflict and the different violence of Medellin, Antioquia and our country.

We are a space inside the heart of the city where the memories of the armed conflict that our country lives, have a physical and symbolic place, from which we pretend to act in the cultural transformation that longs for Colombia.

We are Living Memories, see to not repeat. This space is a house of dialogue and encounter to understand what happened and is happening in our society, to rediscover hope and to think about other possible futures.

The House of Memory Museum is a political, pedagogical and social project, inclusive and representative, which contributes to the transformation of the war logics towards more civilized practices, through construction and circulation processes of the armed conflict memories, the construction of cultural expressions and commemorations; pedagogies design for cultural and social transformation, advocacy strategies implementation and social mobilization, for human rights and non-repetition guarantees; and definition and implementation of knowledge management processes, oriented to the circulation and democratization of the same.
