Santiago, Chile: A Quick Stop on Your South American Adventure

.....What a stunning building back to back with the La Moneda Palace (the state-lii office of the President) where the entrance to the building is downstairs and you have to walk down a ramp to get there! It’s no dull walk because the first sighting to greet you is the water cascading down the full length of the ramps width coming from the roof-top fountain indeed a pleasant watery sound and sight. Then you are greeted by the neat signage and the big glass entrance. The level on which you arrive give you the impression of a super large atrium with smaller galleries on either side! The design of this building seems to be around “Ramps” again to get downstairs you walk down the ramps on either side. Looking down you will see a large area with comfortable simple-settees where you can sit and enjoy the shadow-video shows playing on the walls. Downstairs there are the Cinemas, a nice size restaurant, lots of smaller shops selling books, jewelry and artwork. The restroom facilities are nice and clean. It is free to gain access to this beautiful exhibition center and it is a very worthwhile experience to visit here!.....

Fantastic Cultural center that is surprisingly hidden as it’s underneath the massive open space plaza above. There’s 2 small stairwells at either end which lead down underneath to the 2 story underground mall like area where many booths are dedicated as mini museums and others are gift shops showcasing local artwork and goods. Really enjoyed the art exhibits as they were showcasing a lot of unique pieces and many of them by less well known local artists that are only possible to be seen in Chile. There’s even a small theater although I did not get to personally experience it due to time constraints. You don’t have to budget too much time here but since everything here is free, feel free to spend as little or as much time as you would like.

This is a great Cultural Center in dowtown Santiago that exhibits a lot of different cultural and historical milestones. It houses some articles from the colony times which shows the history of Chile in a ver nice way. The guides inside the building they are very helpful!. I like: -It's free -Wheelchair accesible -Various show rooms with different topics. -Excellent location -Helpful assistants inside the building I don't like: -No english translations for the exhibitions reviews. (That's why they get 4 out of 5 stars). -Not properly advertised in the tourism industry.

There were 4 different small exhibitions in different levels of this huge underground building when we visited. My favorites were the Danish children's book illustrations showing how they have evolved over the decades and the photography exhibit of women football fans from South America and their various stories. Very moving or inspiring in many cases. Some additional explanations in English would have been nice, but we are in Chile, so that isn't a criticism.

This place has some awesome art works on display. 2 galleries dedicated to Picasso. It's free to visit UpTo 1 pm after which you have to pay. The other sections have free entry for longer duration. You can learn a bit about light painting here. Some fun learning for kids. This place has some tribal made artifacts for sale. There is a cafeteria on the very first level, where you enter and free wifi.
