Chilean Museum of Pre-Colombian Art
Spanning 4,500 years and about 80 pre-Colombian civilisations of
South America the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino (Chilean
Museum of Pre-Colombian Art) is a fascinating place to spend a few
hours. Located in the old Royal Customs House, the exhibit displays
are well lit and beautifully arranged throughout four rooms set
around a central courtyard. The collection provides an informative
insight into the cultures of the Incas, Mayans, Aztecs and other
once proud civilisations of the continent, illustrating their
artistic diversity.
