Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende

Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende, Contemporary art museum in Santiago, Chile

The Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende is a contemporary art museum in Santiago's Barrio República, housed since 2004 in the Palacio Heiremans, a building constructed in 1925. Its collection began with 650 paintings, prints, sculptures, drawings, tapestries and photographs donated from 1972 to 1973 by artists such as Joan Miró, Roberto Matta, Lygia Clark and Frank Stella. The palace had previously served as a detention centre of the CNI, Pinochet's intelligence agency.

The museum was founded in 1971 to gather artworks that international artists donated in support of Chile. It operated in exile from 1975 to 1990 under a different name, Museo Internacional de la Resistencia Salvador Allende, during the military dictatorship.

The museum is named after former President Salvador Allende and demonstrates how international artists showed solidarity with Chile through their work. Exhibitions here explore themes of social justice and how art served as a form of political expression.

The museum is walkable from downtown Santiago and located in the city's cultural district. It has regular opening hours and offers tours and workshops for visitors of all ages.

The Palacio Heiremans, the museum's home since 2005, was built in 1925 and had served as a detention centre of the CNI, Pinochet's intelligence agency. In December 2023 the museum received 18 works from the MACVAC in Villafamés, Spain, stored there for over 30 years.
