Casa del Arte, Art museum at University of Concepción campus in Concepción, Chile.

The Casa del Arte stands at the intersection of Chacabuco and Larenas streets, featuring a hexagonal structure with six main galleries across multiple floors.

The museum opened in 1967 after acquiring over 500 Chilean paintings from Julio Vásquez Cortés in 1958, establishing the largest art collection outside Santiago.

The entrance hall displays the mural 'Presencia de América Latina' by Mexican artist Jorge González Camarena, created between 1964 and 1965.

Visitors can explore permanent exhibitions featuring works from Chilean artists Pedro Luna, Jorge Délano, and Thomas Somerscales on the upper floor.

The building combines architectural elements with an Art Nouveau façade at the front and neoclassical design at the rear of the structure.
