Lonely Planet review for Museo de la Memoria

A chilling testament to the excesses of Argentina’s military dictatorship, this museum occupies a space formerly used as a clandestine center for detention and torture. It was operated by the dreaded Department of Intelligence (D2), a special division created in Córdoba dedicated to the kidnap and torture of suspected political agitators and the ‘reassignment’ of their children to less politically suspect families.

    Location and Renovation Museo de la Memoria

    yesmaybe recommends this,

    This museum was being heavily renovated in May 2009, although they still let you wander around the rooms they weren't working on. The areas dedicated to the military dictatorship are stark and interesting, they also have some less inspiring local art galleries in some of the rooms.

    It is easy to find, but a little tricky to notice, as the street doesn't really have a name. The building is directly behind the main tourist office in Plaza General San Martin and so just behind the Cabildo, town offices.
