Museo Artequin, Art museum and Historical Monument in Estación Central, Chile.

Museo Artequin occupies the Pabellón París, a structure built in France in 1889 and reassembled in Santiago's Quinta Normal in 1894. Its collection consists of photographic reproductions of Western paintings from the 15th to the 20th century, displayed so that younger visitors can see them at eye level.

Built in France for the 1889 Paris Universal Exposition, the pavilion represented Chile at the fair marking the centenary of the storming of the Bastille. After the event it was dismantled, shipped to Valparaíso and taken to Santiago, where it was reassembled in 1894 in the Quinta Normal for the Mining and Metallurgy Exhibition. It was declared a National Historic Monument in 1986.

The museum is run by a non-profit corporation founded by the Municipality of Santiago, Empresas El Mercurio and Empresas CMPC. Its collection consists of photographic reproductions of Western paintings from the 15th to the 20th century, used to present the main artistic movements to visitors.

The museum is located in the Estación Central neighborhood and has varying opening hours depending on the day of the week. It is easy to reach on foot and provides a good setting for a visit with children.
