ESMA Museum and Site of Memory
Former Clandestine Detention, Torture and Extermination Center.
Under the scope of the Centro Internacional para la Promoción de los Derechos Humanos of the Ministerio de Justicia, the Museo Sitio de Memoria ESMA—declared a National Historic Monument, MERCOSUR Cultural Heritage, and UNESCO World Heritage Site—operates in the former Officers’ Quarters of the ESMA. This building, preserved in its entirety, stands as a historical and judicial reference regarding the crimes against humanity committed during the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina.
Since its opening in 2015, the Museum has been a space for reflection. Through its permanent museographic exhibition, its mission is to promote knowledge of recent history, strengthen citizenship committed to democracy and human rights, and foster both intra- and intergenerational dialogue in the present and towards the future.
