Opened in December of 1981, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino looks at the collection of Sergio Larrain Garcia-Moreno. Garcia-Moreno was an avant-garde artist from the 20th century. Still, it was ancient cultural works that truly aroused his passion, and that’s when he began to collect Pre-Columbian works with the caveat that the work overwhelms him when he lay his eyes upon it. Today, Museo Chileno de Arts Precolombino showcases masterpieces from around Mesoamerica, the Amazon, the Andes, and the Caribbean. A permeant exhibit looking at Chile before it became Chile admires human habitation over 14,000 years ago in the region.
