Just outside Parque Quinta Normal is Museo de la Memoria y Los Derechos Humanos, the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. The purpose of this museum is to recognize the atrocities committed on the people of Chile by the Chilean government between 1973 and 1990. Though there is space for visiting exhibits, more than half of the building is dedicated to the permanent display. Throughout this exhibit, patrons read real testimonials of survivors during this time, including a section on the pain children endured. A room is dedicated to the horrors suffered by culture, including book burnings, museums closed, and cultural goods seized.
