Museo Regional de Rancagua

The Regional Museum of Rancagua occupies two colonial houses from the eighteenth century, containing more than 2,600 historical and cultural objects from the O'Higgins region.

Established in 1950 as the Museum of La Patria Vieja, the institution moved to its current location in 1978, displaying collections in period rooms that reflect nineteenth-century living.

The museum preserves extensive collections of archaeology, ethnography, visual arts, decorative arts, traditional Chilean music recordings, and photographic archives representing regional heritage.

Located at Estado 685 in Rancagua, the museum opens Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 to 17:45, Friday until 16:45, and Saturday until 13:45, offering free admission.

The building houses traditional wooden polychrome images donated in 1976, arranged along corridors that connect rooms furnished with authentic nineteenth-century aristocratic decorations.
