Museo de Arte Popular Americano

The museum contains over 6,000 pieces of traditional crafts, including textiles, ceramics, and woodwork from various Latin American countries.

Established in 1944 at Cerro Santa Lucia's Hidalgo Castle, the museum received initial collections from seven nations as gifts for the University of Chile centennial.

The collections represent diverse artistic expressions from indigenous communities across the Americas, displaying traditional techniques and regional craft methods.

Located at the Cultural Platform of Universidad de Chile in Juan Gomez Millas Campus, the museum provides guided tours and educational workshops.

The institution maintains the largest collection of traditional crafts in Chile, with items dating back to the early 20th century.
