Lugar de la Memoria (LUM)
Lugar de la Memoria, la Tolerancia y la Inclusión Social
A memorial built on the Miraflores clifftop that tells the story of violence and reconciliation during Peru's internal conflict of 1980–2000. The building itself has won numerous awards.
LUM is built of exposed concrete into the coastal cliff. Its ramped exhibition route uses film, testimony and artifacts to revisit the Shining Path conflict, which claimed nearly 70,000 lives. It is an important stop for understanding contemporary Peruvian society. Entry is free, and the museum is closed on Mondays. Exhibits are mainly in Spanish, with some in English. The top-floor terrace offers views over the Pacific.
