Museo de Lota, Mining history museum in Lota, Chile.
The Historical Museum of Lota occupies a 663-square-meter Victorian house with 15 rooms, featuring more than 800 pieces related to coal mining heritage.
Built in 1864, this residence initially housed company doctors, including Dr. Munro, before transforming into a museum dedicated to preserving Lota's coal mining legacy in 1998.
The museum displays an extensive collection of period furniture, photographs, mining tools, and indigenous Mapuche artifacts that represent the region's industrial development.
Located 100 meters from Isidora Cousiño Park entrance, the museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours and educational activities.
The museum building exemplifies balloon frame construction techniques, maintaining original architectural elements from the period of Chile's coal mining prosperity.
