Museo Histórico y Antropológico
The former Anwandter family house on Teja Island, across the river, where German immigrant family history and Mapuche silverwork, colonial artifacts, and furnishings are displayed.
The museum stands on the riverbank of Isla Teja. The Anwandter House, where it is located, was built in the mid-19th century and is a fine example of a German immigrant timber house. The exhibits include traditional Mapuche silver jewelry and textiles, weapons and fort models from the Spanish colonial period, and furniture, musical instruments, and household items of German immigrants. Next door is the Philippi Exploration Museum, and together they form a university museum complex. It is closed on Mondays and generally open from about 10:00 to 18:00. Admission is about 2,500 pesos. It is a walk from the city center across the Pedro de Valdivia Bridge.
