Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos

This striking contemporary museum in Santiago documents the human rights violations committed under Chile's military dictatorship between 1973 and 1990. Through testimony, photographs, documents, films and personal objects, it recounts the coup, repression and the campaigns of those who resisted and sought justice. A copper-clad glass volume rises above a broad public plaza. Interactive displays and a memorial candle installation invite reflection.
