Museo de Artes Visuales, Contemporary art museum in Santiago, Chile.
The Museo de Artes Visuales is an art gallery in Santiago's Lastarria district that spans three floors with exhibition spaces for rotating shows. The building itself reflects modern design and creates a contemporary setting for presenting artworks.
The museum was founded in 2001 by the Fundación Cultural Plaza Mulato and quickly became an important venue for contemporary Chilean art. Its establishment contributed to the development of the Lastarria neighborhood as an art center.
Located in the heart of the Lastarria artist neighborhood, the museum displays works by Chilean and international contemporary artists within a vibrant cultural district. The exhibitions rotate regularly and offer insights into current artistic movements and local creative practices.
The gallery is located in the Lastarria neighborhood and operates from Tuesday through Sunday, giving visitors time to explore. The building is wheelchair accessible and easily reached by public transportation.
The museum offers audio recordings of exhibitions and artistic discussions through an online platform, allowing visitors to revisit events beyond their physical visit. This digital archive makes artistic conversations accessible outside the gallery walls.
