Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: The museum occupies a former 16th-century hospital building that later served as a police station during Franco's regime. Over 500 personal testimonies and donated objects fill three floors of exhibits documenting the city's transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Punti salienti: Walk into the Sala de la Escucha and you'll hear voices of ordinary citizens whispering their stories through 30 hidden speakers embedded in the walls. Each voice belongs to a real person who lived through the Franco years, creating an intimate chorus that makes the hairs on your arm stand up.
Consigli da insider
- Rent the free audio guide at reception; it unlocks extra testimonies that aren't displayed on the wall texts.
- The rooftop terrace offers a quiet view over the old town and is almost always empty.
- Dedicate at least 20 minutes to the third floor's immersive projection room; it loops continuously and tells the whole story in one powerful sequence.
- Photography is allowed without flash, but the dim lighting means you'll get better results with a phone camera on night mode.
