At least in Chile, in this process, the voices of children have been excluded, considering that they did not live through the time, or because they do not have the tools to give their opinion on issues that are not typical of childhood. Faced with this, the present study asks: what meanings do children construct from the Museum of Memory and Human Rights exhibition about political violence and the dictatorship in Chile? To develop the response, through a qualitative methodology, we worked with four boys and girls, between 12 and 13 years old, who, after visiting the Museum, individually produced drawings about their impressions, to later discuss them as a group. The data analysis was carried out through a semantic content analysis, providing the main conclusions that: adults lack the tools to overcome the dictatorship; political violence is possible; and that conflicts are resolved through disputes and in community.Keywords: Chile, childhood, dictatorship, Museum of Memory, memoryFinanciamento:Proyecto Postdoctorado Fondecyt No. 3230609, Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovación (ANID), Chile.
