Museo Regional de la Araucanía

The Regional Museum of Araucanía occupies the Thiers House, a 1924 building featuring German colonial architecture with columns and a covered portico entrance.

The museum started in 1940 at the San José Institute, moved to Calle Bello in 1952, and found its permanent location at Avenida Alemania between 1969 and 1970.

The collection includes 3,500 heritage objects across six categories: Archaeological, Ethnographic, Historical, Pictorial, Photographic, and Books and Documents sections.

Located at Alemania 084 in Temuco, the museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM with free admission for all visitors.

The garden surrounding the museum contains exotic species such as linden trees, palm trees, and giant sequoias from the 1920s garden design era.
