Very beautiful art gallery, prices are fair. I think it's a about 4000 Pesos for foreigners and less than 1000 for locals. The oil paintings where astonishing and varied in size. I marveled for over one hour in incredulity. There's also many explanations in Spanish. The gallery features some European artists as well as many Chilean ones. The bathroom could be cleaner and the locks on the doors repaired. I had to hold the door shut while doing my business. Also the tours with a large group of people were a little annoying as you could sometimes not enter a room because it was thus crowded. I therefore suggest minimizing the size of the group. However, definitely worth a visit if you're in Valparaíso.

Well... my expectations were low, yes extra low and there I was surprised! Nicely done, perfectly achieved to transfer you to the past in this perfectly conserved 20th century little palace. Inside you will find amazing collections of european artists as well as locals. On the way to this museum, you will have the opportunity to enjoy street art on the walls of houses on the hills stairs and yeah, you can do your daily steps without even notice 😎

Great small museum in two beautiful buildings- palaces. There are tons of paintings by Valparaíso artists and Chilean ones. Camilo Mori' s paintings are featured. There was a Japanese exhibit of prints from their collection when we were there (May 2019). Entrance was about one dollar. I have one recommendation: very little is said about the rooms of the building. Is the mantle marble, from where...

Aquí les dejo una pequeña reseña histórica de la mansión: En 1914, Ottorino Zanelli compró el sitio en el cerro Alegre, donde los 2 arquitectos italianos Arnaldo Barison y Renato Schiavon construyeron en 1916 la casona para la Familia Zanelli. Sin embargo, Zanelli no alcanzó a disfrutar de la mansión, pues murió el mismo año en que acabaron de levantarla. El nombre Palacio Baburizza es en honor a su segundo propietario, el empresario croata Pascual Baburizza quien adquirió la mansión en 1925. Baburizza al igual que la familia Zanelli había llegado al norte de Chile y había hecho fortuna en la zona del salitre. Cuando compró la mansión, realizó algunas modificaciones importantes. Para ello escogió al arquitecto Vicente Colovic para realizar las modificaciones estructurales y espacios interiores de la casa. Colovic fue asimismo el encargado de construir en 1929 el paseo delante de la mansión. Este fue donado por el empresario a la ciudad. La Municipalidad le cambió el nombre de paseo Americano a Paseo Yugoslavo, en honor a la procedencia de su benefactor. La casona se convirtió en sede del Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes de Valparaíso en 1971 y ocho años más tarde fue declarada Monumento Histórico.

Another place to visit when in Valparaiso. It's amongst the numerous architectural marvels of the area. Once you disembark from the metro, it's only minutes away on foot. The sites that one encounters along the route makes the walk seem like effortless. Eye candy for everyone to see and take in. Not a palace as I envisioned, however, the same and the history tied to the name make it worth a look

Beautiful old mansion overlooking the city that has been turned into a fine art museum. The art is has works from local and European artists, mostly French. Its quite a nice collection and is worth a visit. There are also two temporary exhibits free of charge that you can take a look. When I was there, the exhibits were photos of Chile and of tattoos.
