The Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts was established in 1880, making it the oldest museum of its kind in South America. The museum is managed by the Artistic Union and has grown to become one of the leading centers for Chilean and South American art. Housed in the Palace of Fine Arts, the beaux arts-style building itself is a stunning piece of work designed by Chilean architect Emile Jequier. Some of the current exhibitions visitors can enjoy include The Traffic of the Earth, which is a photographic installation by Spanish photographer Xavier Ribas, Another Way of Looking at Infinity, which is a fractal set by Soledad Chadwick, and Draw the Limit, which includes a collection of videos, photographs, and drawings by artist Janet Toro.
