Museo de Colchagua, History museum in Santa Cruz, Chile
The Colchagua Museum displays 7,000 artifacts across eight exhibition halls, covering topics from paleontology to modern Chilean history in chronological order.
The museum opened in October 1995 through the Cardoen Foundation, following extensive artifact collection from international travels by businessman Carlos Cardoen.
The exhibition includes collections of pre-Hispanic metalwork, Andean textiles, indigenous artifacts, and religious art from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The museum recommends visitors allocate 75 minutes for exploring the main halls, with guided tours available at Avenida Presidente Errázuriz 145.
A dedicated section displays the rescue operation of 33 miners from San José Mine in 2010, featuring the Phoenix II capsule replica.
