National Fine Arts Museum
 

Description

Chilean architect Emilio Jequier designed this beautiful palace in 1910 to replicate the Petit Palais of Paris. The Fine Arts Museum, which had been founded in 1880 and located in another building moved to the palace once it opened. It is one of the most important fine arts museums in the country and the oldest in South America. Inside the stately interior, visitors find around 2,700 paintings by foreign and Chilean artists, as well as interesting reproductions, sketches and sculptures. The museum also houses a large slide collection and an art library with more than 15,000 volumes, documents and archives. Entry is free on Sundays.

Very good collection
By ,
I went on a Sunday when it's free. And even the free exhibitions are very interesting, and have great artistic value (you can learn a lot about Chilean art!).

be aware!!
By ,
I read all the reviews before going here, and I visited here since it is close eough from the Cerro Santa Lucia. Though the building was beautiful, the art inside was not as good as I expected. I mean,, I do not know the art, so pretty much it was boring. If you like art, I would recommend it, but otherwuse, NO!!!

Bellas Artes: Magnificent
By ,
I loved the building and the setting, but something more important to me is that while it is a museum, it is not a dead thing. It is functioning, fully alive with people undertaking great art courses run by well-known local artists. I also liked the areas around, beautiful and elegant streets, parks, free concerts and craft markets!

Pretty Great
By ,
I really liked the whole theme of the museum. It's definately different than other museums that I've gone to. And trust me, I have gone to a lot. The place was a little empty at the time, but was worth the visit. I plan on returning soon!
