Museo Regional de Magallanes
Museo Regional de Magallanes, Regional history museum in Punta Arenas, Chile
The Museo Regional de Magallanes occupies the Palacio Braun Menéndez, a grand mansion featuring European architectural elements and decorative objects from the early 1900s.
French architect Antoine Beaulier constructed this palatial residence in 1903 for the Braun-Menéndez family, who later donated it to the Chilean state in 1983.
The museum presents three main exhibition areas displaying regional artifacts, historical documents, and the original furnishings that belonged to the wealthy Braun-Menéndez family.
The museum is currently closed for extensive restoration work expected to continue until 2027, with repairs focusing on interior features and structural elements.
Visitors can explore the servants' quarters, which reveal the daily operations and social structure of an early 20th-century Chilean mansion.
