The museum is housed in the former Portuguese Timor court of justice building which was burnt down during the 1999 East Timorese crisis.[1] The building spans over an area of 1,325 m2 with a 1,165 m2 courtyard. The architect for the renovation of the building was Tânia Bettencourt Correia.[3]
Permanent exhibitedit
The main space of the AMRT is occupied by an exhibit entitled "To Resist is to Win," depicting the history of Timorese armed and clandestine resistance to Indonesian military rule. It aims to make the history of the resistance struggle better known, evoking its main moments and protagonists, using modern museological trends and, whenever possible, audio-visual sources.[4] The exhibit is captioned in Tetum, Portuguese and English.
The museum also houses temporary exhibits on aspects of resistance movement history.
Resistance Archivesedit
The AMRT stores a variety of textual, photographic and audio-visual materials on site. Some of these holdings have been nominated for the UNESCOMemory of the World register.[5]
In 2013, the Mario Soares Foundation developed an online portal sharing much of this archival material.[6] As a result, the AMRT has the country's largest online archive.[7]
