❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the opening hours and how do I get to the House of Memory Museum?

The museum is generally open Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closing on Mondays for maintenance. The easiest way to get there is by using the Ayacucho Tram (Line T-A) and getting off at Bicentenario station, which leaves you right in front.

Do I have to pay admission to visit the museum, or is it free?

Admission to the House of Memory Museum is completely free for both locals and foreigners, as it is a public project of the Medellín Mayor’s Office. No advance reservation is required for individual visits; you only need to register at the entrance when you arrive.

How much time should I set aside to tour the entire museum?

We recommend allowing between one and a half and two hours to experience the museum at the calm pace the place deserves. Since the content is profound and requires attentive reading and listening, this amount of time will help you better absorb the exhibitions.

What makes this museum so important historically and culturally?

It is a fundamental space for understanding Colombia’s urban and national armed conflict through the voices of victims rather than perpetrators. Its importance lies in being a place of mourning, truth, and hope that seeks to guarantee the non-repetition of violence through historical memory.

What is the best time to visit the museum and avoid crowds?

The ideal time is from Tuesday to Thursday in the morning, just after opening, when you will find a quieter and more reflective atmosphere. Weekends usually see more local visitors and activities in the outdoor park.

Is the building accessible for people in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility?

Yes, the museum has modern infrastructure designed to be inclusive, including access ramps and elevators connecting the different levels. The exhibitions are arranged so that movement is comfortable for visitors with reduced mobility.

What other places of interest can I visit near the museum?

After your visit, you can explore Bicentenario Park surrounding the building or walk to the famous Placita de Flórez, a traditional market full of local culture. You are also very close to the city center and can continue your route using the tram system.

What tips would you give me to make the most of my visit?

Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for a deeply emotional experience; if you want to go deeper, check the cultural program on its official website before you go. For an immersive experience, complement your visit with our audio guide at IAudioguia.com.
