Lonely Planet review for Museo Histórico Nacional

Colonial furniture, weapons, paintings, historical objects and models chart Chile’s colonial and republican history at the Museo Histórico Nacional. After a perfunctory nod to pre-Colombian culture, the ground floor covers the conquest and colony. Upstairs goes from independence through Chile’s industrial revolution right up to the 1973 military coup but no further – Allende’s broken glasses are the chilling final exhibit. The Spanish-only explanations are only helpful if you’ve taken Chilean History 101, but English versions of the texts sell for CH$100 at the ticket counter.
