Museum Exhibitions
Permanent Collections
En la primera sala se aprecian imágenes, videos y audios del 2 de octubre, en la plaza de las Tres Culturas que alberga una parte importante de nuestra memoria política. Se puede escuchar las declaraciones del ex presidente Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, así como hundirse en la lectura de la carta de un estudiante desaparecido el 10 de junio de 1971, el día del Halconazo.La segunda sala transporta a una horrible sala de interrogatorio, donde la única luz que existe en el cuarto es la que alumbra la silla negra que se encuentra. Se escuchan las recreaciones de los desgarradores testimonios de sobrevivientes de la DFS. Una mujer relata cómo fueron electrocutados sus genitales mientras la amenazaban con lastimar a su familia si no hablaba.Otra sala llena de fotografías de jóvenes desaparecidos. Decenas de fotografías adornan los muebles típicos de las familias de clase media de mediados del siglo pasado. Libros usados de Marx, Lenin y Mao parecen esperar el regreso de sus jóvenes y ávidos lectores.
