The San Francisco Colonial Art Museum, situated in the former convent of the Church of San Francisco in Santiago, Chile, was established in 1969. This historical location adds a unique charm to the museum, making it a fascinating destination for those interested in colonial art and history.
Exhibitions at the Museum
The museum houses seven rooms, each showcasing a variety of relics that reflect the religiosity and colonial art of the period. Visitors can explore these rooms to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and artistic heritage of the colonial era.
The Gabriela Mistral Room
The Gabriela Mistral room is another notable feature of the museum. It displays the medal, the diploma, and the facsimiles of the Nobel Prize in Literature that the poetess won in 1945. She bequeathed these items to the Chilean people, and they are now under the custody of the Franciscan Order.
