Baburizza Palace

A fascinating place. Palacio Baburizza gives a great glimpse into how a Chilean oligarch lived in the early 20th century, with elegance, taste, and attention to every detail. The mansion is beautifully preserved, with impressive interiors, furniture, and artwork. You can really feel the atmosphere of that era. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Chile’s history and culture.

Mediocre art - best things about the house is the art deco bathroom but lots of the building needs some upkeep. Entry fee follows the Bolivian practice of charging foreigners much more than locals. So cost 6000 CLP each. They also don’t stick to advertised hours so we were not allowed to visit the ground floors hosting contemporary art nor double back on ourselves to see the rooms we’d missed. All a bit sub-par and disappointing. You want have missed much if you avoid it.

A lovely stroll in a relaxed environment seeing the treasures of a collector who loved art and his region. The house itself was worth the visit So glad we climbed the stairs, but had a nice vehicular ride to the streets below.

Very good selection of paintings. The story behind this building is quite an interesting one!

Worth the cheap entry fee. Not my fave art but it a beautiful space and interior and one of the docents, Matilde? Miranda? is LOVELY. We had a wonderful conversation as I wandered the spacious museum. I went soon after it opened about 10:30am but would recommend going later as the AM fog obliterates any views from the palace and windows. The fog lifts early afternoon. English explanation at the entry but not thought out. Very nice on-site café as well with good empanadas and carrot cake cookies! Friendly staff and I was happy I could charge my phone.

Superb art museum located in an early 20th century art nouveau styled mansion. The home is beautiful and the quality of the paintings is astounding. The collection originates mostly from Europe, but has plenty of Chilean works as well. Nice cafe and clean bathroom, too. This is a must see visit in Valparaiso.

Amazing art museum and the palacio itself! Beautiful works, well kept. Much better than national art museum in Santiago! Take it slow and wander around to explore all the nooks. Permanent exhibition is large and is only 3000 pesos, and the temporary exhibition in the basement is free.

Free entry on Sunday. The Museum is in a historic mansion and is adjacent to Mirador Paseo Yugoslavo and is easily reached via the Ascensor El Persal. There are street performers and the area is designated a local artisans market area. The art in the museum is focused on native Chilean artists and has many works that reflect the early years of Valparaiso.

Quaint museum in the Palacio Baburizza. We spent about an hour or so meandering through the museum viewing the paintings from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Small but beautiful collection. The palace was built in the nouveau style with details inside and out worth admiring.
