Takes your breath away, in a beautiful and tragic way. Really well presented and represented. Disturbing images and also real signs of courage and sacrifice. Alot to learn here and pass along for future generations. So much loss for seemingly little gain for the people specifically. Hopefully this museum will continue to flourish and be visited by citizens from around the world.

A bittersweet place. One of the best museums I ever visited, that's for sure. A must see for any traveler passing by Santiago. Spare at least two or three hours if you like places like this, there's a lot to see, read and feel. A bitter memory of a dark moment for Chile, and a sweet memento that democracy should and will always prevail. Remember the past so we don't repeat it.
The information in the museum is interesting and well curated. All the information is in Spanish which means you’ll have to rent an audio guide for 2000. My only issues with this museum is there wasn’t any soap in the bathrooms, there are no water fountains, and they could add a few more benches for accessibility.
Very heavy, come ready to see some serious stuff. Would not recommend bringing young kids. The current exhibitions include the latest protests and the immigration, as well as the dictatorship. Do not be loud or take photos with flash or noise, since there are a lot of families affected by the dictatorship or by the refugee crisis in Chile.
For non-Spanish speakers I recommend the audio tour (2000 pesos /2). Some of the museum has English subtitles on the exhibits, but most does not. The museum covers the 17 years of dictatorship under General Pinochet. While it does not really cover the situation leading to the military junta, it covers a lot of detail of the brutality of the military regime. Entry is free. There are lifts and bathrooms. Recommend to anyone interested in the modern history of Chile.
One of my favorite places in Santiago. Entry is free and the museum is well put together to tell a piece of an important story.
Selective memory. Only one part of the story. Poor. Don't waste your time.
