Centro Cultural Matucana 100, Arts centre in Estación Central, Santiago, Chile

Centro Cultural Matucana 100 occupies the brick sheds of the former Dirección de Aprovisionamiento del Estado at Avenida Matucana 100, in Estación Central, Santiago. Its main theatre seats 520 and was built with laminated Oregon pine and raulí wood; below it, the 300 m² Galería Concreta shows art. The complex also holds a visual arts gallery, a cinema and a micro-hall.

The building dates from 1911 and originally operated as a railcar repair facility before serving as a storage space for a water system. Its conversion into a cultural venue happened in recent decades.

The space hosts exhibitions, performances, and screenings that feature work by Chilean and international artists in different mediums. Visitors experience contemporary creative work and local artistic expression throughout the year.

The venue is open Wednesday through Sunday with varying hours depending on the day of the week. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours to see exhibitions or attend an event, and check current opening times before visiting.

The 2010 earthquake forced the closure of the Visual Arts Gallery, housed in the 1911 building, for a full year. A Bicentennial fund granted in 2011 paid for its repair, and the master plan that followed added the Microsala, the Cine M100 and the Huerta M100, designed initially by artist Caterina Purdy.
