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

Casa del Arte is an art museum located on the University of Concepción campus, featuring a distinctive hexagonal structure with six main galleries spread across multiple floors. The building houses works by Chilean artists including Pedro Luna, Jorge Délano, and Thomas Somerscales, displayed primarily on the upper levels.

The museum opened in 1967 after the university acquired over 500 Chilean paintings from the Julio Vásquez Cortés collection, beginning with acquisitions in 1958. This purchase established one of the most important art collections outside Santiago.

The entrance hall holds Presencia de América Latina, painted by Mexican artist Jorge González Camarena between November 1964 and April 1965; Chile declared it a national historic monument on 10 September 2010. The mural depicts a nude Indigenous woman beside a conquistador and a mestizo figure, framed by pre-Columbian and Mexican motifs. About 75,000 people see it each year.

The best time to visit is early morning or afternoon when the galleries are less crowded and you can view the works at your own pace. Since the building is located within the university campus, visitors should be aware they are on private grounds and respect campus rules.

The building's mixed styles result from the 1960 Valdivia earthquake, which partly destroyed the original university dental school on this site. The architects were Osvaldo Cáceres and Alejandro Rodríguez, and one of the first trees planted on campus, a redwood, still grows beside the museum.
