Only enough time for a quick visit here at the GAM where we looked at a couple of the exhibits.

And it's free which is awesome and they have a free wifi which is double awesome.

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.

I found this museum by mistake. This museum offers 40 art murals that were creates by 70 artists,…read morelocals and internationals. It's about 4,000 m2 of art. The walls where the murals were painted are the residential walls of apartment projects. All murals are maintained in excellent conditions, also the fact this museum is located in San Miguel, a neighborhood that is not a "turtists"center is even more interesting to visit. You will be amazed by the power these walls make you feel. When you are in front of them seeing them with your own eyes you understand how important is to promote art in low income neighborhoods, this museum is a jewel hidden in SanMiguel and I strongly recommend you as a tourist and locals to visit them and appreciate this hard work. I am so happy I made this review and listed in Yelp "Museo A Cielo Abierto". Give the empty walls to artists and communities so they express dreams, their POV. Art makes neighborhoods beautiful, helps local economy. Better hrs to go and visit Morning, afternoons. Avoid going at night. Also the murals have public lighting at night, but for safety reasons better go in daylight.

Right in the centre of town it is lovely to find such a beautiful building with such interesting…read moreexhibitions 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.

In total 4 metro stations pass through different parts of the park, metros: Baquedano, Parque Bustamante, Santa Isabel, and Irarrazabal. If you walk through the entire park you will start you walk in the Providencia area and end in Nunoa. There are fun little attractions throughout the entire park. Cafe Literario is located at the beginning of the park, there is also a skate park, public exercise equipment, and play area for children. There are also periodic fairs on the weekends as well. One of the things I love about walking through the park is the older arquitectura of all the houses and buildings, as well as all the small local shops you can explore. As the park is further from the city center it's much quieter and relaxing.
