Description:
This cute museum consists of two buildings, a slightly more modern one which houses artefacts, text and models of the city, and an older one which is the actual house where Benjamin Vicuña lived. It's a small museum, but worth a look on a slow day or if you're interested in knowing more about Chilean history. Some of the period furniture is unusual to find in Chile. The house, with its original construction, was undamaged by the earthquake and gives a peek into old Santiago, in a small, shady courtyard just steps from the Baquedano metro.
