Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre

Beautiful art establishment. You can visit the art pieces in the sub level, and they stayed open until very late. They have street fair on the west side and many outdoor culture events on weekends. They also have small shops set up inside and you can sit and chill in the coffee shop inside.

Worth to visit! A building itself is interesting, there’re also free exhibitions, some art markets on weekends.

Brilliant highlight of Santiago! We visited the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre on a Tuesday evening and we were super impressed by its vibrant atmosphere and rich cultural offerings. The centre hosts a variety of performances, exhibitions, and events, making it a hub for art enthusiasts - including informal performances which were being practiced in the amphitheater area near the bar. The building itself is architecturally a statement, which we loved, with mixed materials and angles making up the facade. The contrasts in the scale of exhibition spaces against the wide plazas and circulation space is also very well considered. Finally, the free admission makes it accessible to everyone. The surrounding Lastarria neighborhood offers up its historic charm and lively streets plus plenty of dining options and bars. Definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in the arts.

Amazing establishment! Highly recommend visiting. Multiple exhibitions of varying art types. Free. Wonderful communal spaces and cafe. Very interesting architecture too.

Fantastic atmosphere, marvelous architecture attracting young people, enabling organic interactions. The building hosts a very nice and popular bar with direct view to skaters and young apprentices of different performances.

Great cultural programs and nice place to hang out with multiple spaces, cafes, and restaurants.

Beautiful architecture. Nice and quiet for a relaxing day in Santiago.

Cultural spot in Santiago. Lots of art festivals, dance events, etc., most days.

Only enough time for a quick visit here at the GAM where we looked at a couple of the exhibits. It is an interesting spot and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to give it the time that it clearly deserved. It's sort of a cultural center but also a contemporary art museum. And it's free which is awesome and they have a free wifi which is double awesome.

Formerly Pincochet's operational headquarters, GAM is now transformed into Santiago's cultural and creative hub. The building has a rusted exterior shell and a large gold fish woven with strips above the terrace. It is a great place to people-watch teens practicing their dance moves in the courtyard or catch a concert or performance held in GAM's theaters.
