Museo Casa de la Memoria, Antioquia Department, Colombia
4.5 (316 reviews) Sunday: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #12 in Medellin Speciality Museums
A very powerful museum
This museum is great, a must for visitors to Medellin. It is a powerful history lesson and remembrance of the decades of armed conflict in Colombia, with particular focus on humanizing all victims. While the content is very heavy (obviously), the museum also sends a powerful message of hope and solidarity in Colombia. Give yourself at least a couple hours to be there because there is a lot to see and absorb.

Good and Informative Museum
The Museo Casa de la Memoria is a free museum. You do have to register when you arrive. There is some English at the museum, but mostly Spanish explanations. They did have subtitles on the video stories. There was so much more I wanted to understand, but my limited Spanish was useless. When we were there the app that was available for the audio guide did not work well. I would suggest bringing earbuds to help with the audio app if you get it to work. It still sends a powerful message even with the language limitations. I would still suggest going. I would take a taxi if you leave after sunset because the plaza next door can get a little sketchy.

Casa de la Memoria should not be missed on a Medellin visit
Make sure you take enough time to visit the museum, as it can take a while to really absorb all the stories being told. It offers a gripping look at Colombia's past, however hard that is at some times. Interestingly, it looks at this subject through the eyes of the victims, not the perpetrators (as is too often the case). We found a few of the installations really impactful. The museum offers an interesting app (audio guide), but downloading the data (audio) files will only work when you are on the museum wifi.
