Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in Parque Forestal, Chile.
The Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art occupies a Neoclassical building in Parque Forestal and also uses a second exhibition space in Quinta Normal Park. The institution displays contemporary works from Chilean and international artists across both locations.
The museum was founded in 1947 and relocated to its current location during the 1970s. This move transformed it into a major center for displaying contemporary art in Santiago.
The museum serves as a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts throughout the year. Visitors come here to encounter contemporary works and explore new creative perspectives in a central location.
The museum maintains regular opening hours and is easily accessible by public transportation serving Parque Forestal. Since the collection is split between two locations, planning your visit ahead helps you explore both venues.
The art collection includes a notably large number of prints and graphic works displayed in dedicated rooms. This print collection makes the museum a rare place to view this particular artistic tradition.
