They were his refuge for creating, loving, and entertaining friends for long evenings filled with good food and good conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Chascona (\u201cdisheveled\u201d in the Quechua language), a home which he named in honor of his beloved Matilde Urrutia, can be found in the Bellavista neighborhood at the foot of Cerro San Crist\u00f3bal. The home is surrounded by trees making you forget that you&#8217;re in the middle of Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the headquarters of the Pablo Neruda Foundation and one of the museums that houses several of his collections, making the home a piece of art in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second home is known as \u201cLa Sebastiana.\u201d Overlooking the Bay of <a href=\"https:\/\/chile.travel\/en\/where-to-go\/central-area-santiago-and-valparaiso\/valparaiso\">Valpara\u00edso<\/a>, this home has other objects gathered by the poet, a compulsive collector of anything that caught his interest, from maps and telescopes to boat skylights and pieces of stained glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third house located in a sleepy coastal town just south of Valpara\u00edso where Neruda was finally laid to rest, is his Isla Negra home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Named for the dark rock formations seen from his window, Isla Negra is not an Island, but it houses Neruda\u2019s most beloved, delicate and inspirational collections, like his ship figureheads, bottles and more bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

dissemination of visual arts in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a gorgeous neo-Classical construction and some elements of Art Nouveau from the turn of the 20th century, the building\u2019s current design, its internal layout and the facade were inspired by the Petit Palais in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum, which was one of the symbols of Chile\u2019s centennial celebration in 1910, exhibits an extensive and diverse collection of over 5,500 original pieces, including paintings, sculptures and graphics by Chilean and foreign artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the heart of Parque Forestal in Santiago, the museum offers guided tours in Spanish, English and French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Museum of Memory and Human Rights<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Museum of Memory and Human Rights is a dynamic and interactive space that recovers the recent history of Chile and promotes a culture of respect for human dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is part of the emblematic projects to celebrate the country&#8217;s bicentennial in the year 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centered around the period between 1973 and 1990 in Chile, the museum calls visitors to reflect and debate on the importance of respect and tolerance, with an innovative visual and auditory proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It uses objects, documents and files in different media and formats to teach visitors about the coup d\u2019etat, the following years of repression, resistance, exile, international solidarity and defense of human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its straight line design and a large open space for cultural events and temporary exhibits, the museum is located in the attractive Yungay neighborhood in Santiago and forms part of the artistic-cultural route in this part of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Chilean Pre-Colombian Art

in Chile,\u201d thanks to the richness of its collections and the visual proposal offered by its original museographic concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its collection is composed of over 5,000 pieces on permanent display, from a wide range of origins but all selected with careful aesthetic criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than following a chronological or spatial order, the exhibit presents the different cultures in each display according to common aesthetic or anthropological elements, such as Shamanism, masks or music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Colchagua Museum<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the town of Santa Cruz, just 180km south of Santiago, this museum brings together one of the largest private collections in the Americas: nearly 7,000 objects related primarily to paleontology, archaeology, Chilean and world history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its diverse collections range from prehistorical periods to different periods in Chilean history, as well as liturgical art, weapons, and a room dedicated to automobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a space dedicated to the rescue of the 33 miners trapped in the San Jos\u00e9 Mine in 2010, including a replica of the Phoenix II capsule that brought the miners to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

historical significance, where the Mapuche resisted Spanish domination for over three hundred years in the War of Arauco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its small museum is a large source of pride for the Mapuche and of great interest for visitors who want to know more about Chile and its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum, a required stop for tourists visiting the land of Nahuelbuta, is located inside the Puren Fort and the Historical Park by the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its privileged view and park environment also contribute to the museum\u2019s great beauty and scenic
