About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago opens with Fernando Olivares Mori, a UN economist who disappeared after the 1973 coup and whose remains were dug up from Patio 29 in Santiago's General Cemetery and identified by Chile's Legal Medical Service in the 1990s. It follows his family's 1998 funeral, and traces the museum's own 2010 founding as a promise of transparency around the state's search for the disappeared.
