Museo de Arte Moderno Chiloé (MAM)
Museo de Arte Moderno Chiloé
A contemporary art museum in a former wooden granary in the hilltop park on the west side of town, showing works by Chilean artists, with views over Castro Bay.
The museum was founded in 1988 by a group of artists. It is located in the Parque Municipal on the west side of the city, in several traditional Chiloé wooden houses and granaries that have been converted. Its exhibitions focus on Chilean and local contemporary art, and a themed exhibition is held every summer. Admission is usually free, and opening seasons and times are announced officially. A taxi from the city center takes about 10 minutes, and the grassy slopes in the park offer views over the city and the bay.
Opening hours
About 10:00–18:00 in summer (per announcements)
