Museum of the Word and Image (Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen) Tours and Tickets
Unlike other national museums that tell tales of independence and victory using the popular narrative, San Salvador’s Museum of the Word and Image (Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen) showcases the nation’s past and civil war, through the eyes and stories of guerrilla soldiers.
Travelers can wander galleries filled with photos, exhibits, films and artifacts dedicated to its recent conflict. Visitors will learn about the abuse of female soldiers, as well as political activists, poets and thinkers who influenced the movement. Cueva de las Pasiones, a re-creation of a hidden guerrilla radio station in the cave of Radio Venceremos, is one the museum’s most fascinating exhibits.
