Regional Museum of Ancud

The Regional Museum of Ancud exhibits more than 2,000 artifacts representing the heritage of the Chiloé Archipelago through archaeological findings and local crafts.

The museum started from a collection gathered by Father Audelio Bórquez Canobra, becoming an official institution under DIBAM management in 1976.

The museum displays archaeological tools from Puente Quilo settlement, religious wooden sculptures from the 17th century, and traditional basketwork made with local fibers.

Located at Libertad 370 near Plaza de Armas, the museum includes exhibition halls, a cinema, an amphitheater, and specialized storage facilities.

The museum grounds feature a scale model of the Ancud Schooner and the skeleton of a blue whale that washed ashore near the city in 2004.
