The O’Higginiano and Fine Arts Museum in the city of Talca in central-southern Chile is interesting for the heritage property it occupies as well as for its collections.
In the well-preserved little town of Yerbas Buenas – an attraction in itself – this Museum illustrates the history of life in rural Chile.
Key events in Chile’s struggle for Independence occurred in Rancagua and the Museum includes a section devoted to the city’s role in that process.
Overlooking La Serena’s Plaza de Armas square, this Museum has a choice art collection as well as exhibits relating to the city’s history.
This Museum, devoted to the way of life, culture and beliefs of Chile’s largest indigenous people, is set in the heart of their traditional homeland.
This small museum celebrates the life and work of the man who, as City Governor, changed the face of Santiago in the mid-nineteenth century.
