La Moneda Cultural Center

Great cultural center. Not very crowded in the mornings. Some of the exhibitions are free. It is very family friendly. Photos are permitted in most places. I would recommend going to exhibitions related to Chilean culture.

The galleries and short movies are located mainly on B2 and B3. And those were CLOSED on Mondays. The main floor is at B1, the reception, cafe, and souvenir shop, which were open.

I spent my last day in Santiago touring the historic center, and I'm so glad I did because I left with a fantastic impression of the city. The center is underground, which creates a really unique experience as you descend into the spaces. I appreciated seeing the exhibition on the tragic and brutal history that unfolded here years ago. They also had other exhibitions and workshops for visitors to enjoy. Overall, it was a great place to visit, and it's free!

Couldn’t get in the original building. Need tickets in advance. The featured temporary exhibit was the Country of Morocco. Music, art, culture, and handicrafts. Well done.

There were 4 different small exhibitions in different levels of this huge underground building when we visited. My favorites were the Danish children's book illustrations showing how they have evolved over the decades and the photography exhibit of women football fans from South America and their various stories. Very moving or inspiring in many cases. Some additional explanations in English would have been nice, but we are in Chile, so that isn't a criticism.

The inside looks really nice but I thought the exhibits were pretty boring and it didn’t help that there was absolutely no English anywhere. There are 6 exhibits total and 4 of them are free with 2 requiring a paid ticket.

The guard change is a masterpiece. Great atmosphere.

This place has some interesting stuffs with nice atmosphere for your life in Santiago. Modern style activities here.

Right in the centre of town it is lovely to find such a beautiful building with such interesting exhibitions and shops, and free wifi. I visited many times on a recent trip as they had a really interesting film festival on and some interesting exhibits that merited a second look. It is free to get in and although some exhibits charge an entrance fee there are certain times that you can still get in free (before 12 when I was there) and there are a range of films that are free entry alongside those that aren't. While I was there the range of international, independent films was very impressive. I really liked the water features, the quotes on the wall and art work all around the building. The shops are not the cheapest but full of beautiful things that are excellent quality and locally made so worth the price. And there was even a shops where you could get your own design 3d printed. Definitely worth a visit.
