The Museum of Contemporary Art houses one of the most important
collections of foreign artworks in South America. The museum’s
objectives are “to maintain and strengthen its role as preserver
of the national contemporary artistic memory, and to develop an
annual agenda intended to maintain its positioning as the country's
most important art center.” You will find an organized exhibition
of paintings, sculptures and engravings by various Chilean artists
throughout history. These include, among others, the work of internationally
renowned artists such as Roberto Matta, Alfredo Jaar, Emilio Pettoruti,
Isamu Noguchi and Hundertwasser. Because of the country’s
commitment to its cultural development, it also houses works from
new artists to breathe fresh life into Chile’s artistic scene.
The building is located in a beautiful area of Santiago, so be sure
to take time to enjoy the outdoors, as well as inside the museum.
