Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Valdivia
MAC Valdivia
A contemporary art museum built on the foundations of an old brewery destroyed by the 1960 earthquake, with raw concrete spaces and river views that stand out.
MAC Valdivia stands on the riverside of Isla Teja, on the site of the Anwandter brewery, which was abandoned after the 1960 Valdivia earthquake (magnitude 9.5, the strongest ever recorded). The building keeps exposed brick walls, cellars, and vaulted ceilings, and it presents contemporary art from Chile and Latin America, with exhibitions changing by season. It sits beside the historical museum, so the two can be visited together. Opening hours vary with the exhibitions, usually Tuesday to Sunday, and admission is low-cost.
