Open Air Museum Viña del Mar
This is an outdoor gallery located in the Recreo neighborhood of Viña del Mar. Rather than a single building, the museum consists of various sculptures and artworks installed along the public streets and sidewalks. Travelers visit this site to view public art while walking through a residential and commercial urban area.
Getting There
The museum is located in the Recreo area, accessible from the Viña del Mar city center via local buses or collective taxis and public buses. The trip typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
