Museo de Arte Contemporáneo

Sur Chico


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, but with only one monthly changing exhibition, it leaves something to be desired art-wise.
