Museo Histórico y Antropológico Maurice van de Maele — Attraction in Valdivia

A museum really champurreao, that's kinda all over the place with pre historic pottery and artifacts from sites near Valdivia, indigenous silver jewelry and it's meaning. A lot of German settler's history and pieces from the 1800's

El recorrido comienza en el segundo piso. La guía que trabajó con nuestro grupo fue bastante explicativa y dejaba espacio para preguntas. Sin embargo terminaba una sala y comenzaba otra sin dejar espacio para un recorrido autónomo por las salas. Al comenzar con el segundo piso una vez finalizado el recorrido abajo por lo general no vuelves a subir. Igual eso es cosa de...
