Da fifty years the Historical Museum of the Liberation, with Porta San Paolo, the Ghetto and the Mausoleum of the Ardeatine Caves in Rome, represents one of the symbolic places for the memory of the Resistance of Rome against Nazifascism in its triple municipal, national and European significance.
The Museum is engaged in the collection and preservation of documentation – written, visual, oral and material – related to the Resistance, deportation, military internment, massacres and civilian victims.
It hosts and supports initiatives for the affirmation of human rights and those of peoples, freedom and equality, civil and democratic coexistence, peace and cooperation, nonviolence. Visitors and users find there a permanent exhibition and educational, documentary and research assistance services.
It collects and displays relics, documents, photographs, graphic and pictorial works, useful to reconstruct and represent people, aspects and events of the Nazi occupation of Rome and the liberation struggle, armed and unarmed. Furthermore, it promotes studies, research, educational activities, publishing and cultural promotion, also through the use of audiovisual and computer tools.
