Permanent Collections

Permanent exhibits: In the first room you can see images, videos and audio from October 2 in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, which houses a significant part of our political memory. You can hear statements by former president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, as well as read the letter from a student who disappeared on June 10, 1971, the day of the Halconazo. The second room transports visitors to a terrifying interrogation room, where the only light in the room is the light that shines on the black chair. You hear recreations of the harrowing testimonies of DFS survivors. A woman recounts how her genitals were electrocuted while they threatened to harm her family if she did not speak. Another room full of photographs of disappeared youths. Dozens of photographs adorn the furnishings of middle-class families from the mid-20th century. Used books by Marx, Lenin and Mao seem to await the return of their young and avid readers.
