General information

The Museum of Modern Art specializes in studying modern objects of painting, fine arts, arts and crafts, photography, graphics and much more. The museum was first opened to visitors in 1949. The building, built especially for him, long before this event attracted the attention of people, because the local for him was chosen the legendary Forestal Park, which became the home of the world-famous Museum of Art.

The museum's collection is based on the Chilean art, which demonstrates modern trends, from the 19th century to the present day. The exposition consists of more than two thousand items from different directions of art.

Tourists will surely like the fact that museums also feature works by foreign artists, for example, Robert Mata and Emilio Petturotti, most of which are European numbers. In addition, there are regularly held various exhibitions, where you can meet well-known Chilean artists or novice artists and photographers, who will soon probably dictate the trends of contemporary art.
