Paso de las Duranas is a cultural center in Montevideo, Uruguay.
It is located in Aires Puros, between Belvedere and Sayago to the northwest, Lavalleja to the north and Prado to the south.
Paso de las Duranas is home to the National Museum of Anthropology[1] and to the Museo de la Memoria,[2] which is dedicated to the history of the fight of the Uruguayan people against the repression of the dictatorship. In its east side it also contains the northmost edge of the Prado park, where the former building of the Sociedad Nativista was transformed into a museum.[3]
