Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts
Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, Art museum in Parque Forestal, Santiago, Chile.
The Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts is a national art museum in Parque Forestal, Santiago. The building has a glass cupola that brings natural light into the halls and facades with curved lines and decorative elements.
The institution began in the late 19th century under the name National Painting Museum. The current building was inaugurated for the centennial of Chilean independence and has served as the home for the collection since then.
The palace holds works by Chilean artists showing local landscapes and social scenes from different periods. Visitors can walk through halls where European influences mix with South American imagery.
Admission is free and guided tours are available in several languages. A documentation center and accessible entrances make the visit easier for all guests.
An inner passage connects the building with the Contemporary Art Museum next door. Visitors can move between both institutions without leaving the grounds.
