Centro Cultural y Museo de la Memoria is a space dedicated to the memory of state terrorism and the efforts of the Uruguayan people in their struggle against the dictatorship. It provides knowledge to new generations about the recent history of the country in order to strengthen the national identity.

Centro Cultural y Museo de la Memoria is a space for social exchange and a generator of knowledge, not only historical, but sociological and pedagogical. It was conceived as an institution in which to develop seminars, research, round tables, artistic, educational and cultural rights in general, edit publications, and promote critical thinking and reflection.
