The Chega! Exhibition is a former jail that served as a detention and torture center during the Indonesian occupation of Timor-Leste. Today, it functions as a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of those who suffered and honoring the fight for independence. The museum displays accounts of imprisonment, torture, and the broader struggle for self-determination, initially from Portuguese colonial rule and subsequently from Indonesia. Visitors can explore preserved cells and exhibits detailing the experiences of political prisoners, including prominent figures like Xanana Gusmao. The site also acknowledges the work of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission. While the museum is free to enter, a local guide is highly recommended to fully understand the historical context.
