Gallery sights in Chile

  1. A

    Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes

    Housed in the neo-Gothic–style Palacio Vergara, the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes has interesting collection of 17th- to 19th-century European and Chilean art that includes works by Murillo, Modigliani, Rubens and Sorolla y Bastida. Major concerts and the celebrated Festival Internacional de la Canción are held in the striking concrete amphitheater in the grounds.

    Museo a Cielo Abierto

    Some 20 colorful, if rather flaky, murals are dotted through the lower streets of Cerro Bellavista, forming the Museo a Cielo Abierto, created between 1969 and 1973 by students from the Universidad Católica’s Instituto de Arte. The Ascensor Espíritu Santo takes you from behind Plaza Victoria to the heart of this art.

    Valdivia’s modern art museum sits alongside the archaeological museum and is built atop the foundations of the former Cervecería Anwandter, the one-time brewery that tumbled during the 1960 earthquake. The museum has fine views across the river to the city.
