Memorial museums are dedicated spaces that honor and remember significant events, people, or tragedies in history. They often showcase artifacts, photographs, and personal stories to educate visitors about the past. These museums aim to preserve the memory of those affected and promote understanding of the events that shaped societies. Many memorial museums focus on specific themes, such as war, genocide, or civil rights. For example, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, while the National Civil Rights Museum highlights the struggle for civil rights in the United States. Through exhibitions and programs, these museums encourage reflection and dialogue about important social issues.
