    Interesting building with content that needs some improvement This museum starts with the coup d'etat and ends with the return of democracy. While focusing on the atrocities committed, it fails to explain to its viewers why the coup d'etat occurred and how the return of democracy could be posible under a dictatorship. With these questions left unanswered, I felt rather unsatisfied at the conclusion of my trip to the museum. The building itself is beautifully and creatively designed. I give a 5 to the builiding and 3 to its conten

    Really interesting place. Once you are in Santiago you should go there and educate yourself. Entry is free but you can order Audioguides for 2.000 pesos.

    The struggles of the Chilean people against military dictatorship should never be forgotten. This memorial museum is a moving and comprehensive narration of what happened. Enter with an open mind and persevere with the displays all the way to the 3rd floor.

    Good overview of what happened in Chile during the reign of the military junta - from start to end. Non-spanish speakers can get an audio guide that provides enough information. We enjoyed it (if I may say that given the theme of the museum)!

    This is a curious museum. I have been to memory museums around the world and this is by far and away the list informative. There is absolutely nothing about the pre-coup period. There is nothing about Allende's election, and turmoil, the politics, the reasons for the coup. There is nothing about the US involvement.
