Lonely Planet review

The beautifully arranged Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino chronicles 4500 years of pre-Colombian civilization. There are separate exhibits for different indigenous cultures, each including breathtaking figurative ceramics and sumptuously intricate textiles and jewelry. Make sure you see the Chinchorro mummies, a product of Chile's indigenous culture, which are thousands of years older than the Egyptian equivalent.

Most of the items come from the personal collections of the Larraín family, but special exhibits run from time to time.
