Fashion Museum Foundation, Fashion museum in Vitacura, Chile
The Fashion Museum Foundation in Vitacura is a private institution housing thousands of garments and accessories from different decades. The collection spans the 20th century with a particular focus on clothing pieces from the 1960s and the years that followed.
The institution was established in 2007 in a former residential building belonging to the Yarur Bascuñán family, who owned textile businesses throughout Chile in the 20th century. The location links family heritage with the broader history of the nation's fashion industry.
The name reflects the institution's mission to present fashion as a form of artistic expression worthy of study and preservation. Visitors experience how clothing from different eras shaped how people presented themselves and lived their daily lives.
The museum sits on Vitacura Avenue and offers visitors a private, close-up encounter with historical fashion pieces in an intimate setting. A café within the building helps visitors pace their visit and rest between viewing areas.
The collection includes personal garments worn by famous figures, such as jackets and undergarments owned by recording artists, items that draw less attention in larger fashion surveys. These objects let visitors step into the personal world of well-known people from past decades.
