A trip back in time, a glimpse of how it all began from the Mayans to the peace agreements. It also includes rooms dedicated to the armed conflict in Guatemala, the events that led to a military regime and that ended the 10 years of spring. Admission is free but a donation is requested, guides prepared to give an unforgettable tour.

It was a very powerful display showing through art and stories the history of the Guatamalen people! Very well done and insightful.

Super interesting and super relevant!! To better understand Guatemala, its indigenous people and also get some Mayan history few things beat this place. I'd say it's a 'must' visit when in Guatemala City. When I arrived they were closed, preparing for an evening event, but the wonderfully helpful, passionate and knowledgable German lady who also works there managed to give me a quick tour before the evening activities. Based on the very very informative quick tour I'm convinced a full 90mins will provide even more valuable and interesting information. Thus, don't be fooled into thinking this is just a small "casa" - it's a actually bigger than thought and the knowledgable and committed staff mean you'll likely take away more than from some of the big museums.

Great tour guides all volunteers. You leave with one in a life time experience of what happened during 36 years of the internal conflict.

Mandatory stop to better understand the past and present of Guatemala. the guys who work there are friendly and informative. It's free, but I encourage you to leave a donation.

Excellent place to learn our true history.

Very interesting Museum dedicated to those who have lost their lives to corruption, lies and terrible politics throughout the last century in Guatemala. Information is provided in Spanish only. Entrance is free, leave a little donation if possible- it‘s all based on voluntary work.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place of reflection and memory to never forget the struggle of our peoples that is still in force (Original) Hermoso lugar de reflexión y memoria para nunca olvidar la lucha de nuestros pueblos que sigue vigente

Excellent experience to learn about the history of the Guatemalan civil war and its sad consequences

Casa de la memoria has the most accurate history of what/why Guatemala was and is nowadays.

Lots of history to learn

Ideal to get to know Guatemala social and politic history through time.

Very educational experience and a good introduction to Mayan history. A must do in Guatemala City, plus it's free!

A very nice and interesting experience that not many know about, great work!
