Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes Chile

The National Museum of Fine Arts it is the most important museum in Chile. It was founded on September 18th, 1880. The museum exhibits several types of art such as painting, sculpture and photography throughout the year.

I consider this important building a piece of art because of its amazing design and architecture. The building was designed after another building called Petite Palais located in France. The main characteristics of the building are the big dimensions, the large halls, the beautiful balconies and the wooden floors. An area that stands out is the wonderful glass copula with a metal frame in the middle of the building that has influences from the Art Novou movement. The building reminds me of the old European structures. The museum is a beautiful historical building that I think all Chilean people should visit and contemplate. The museum exhibits many incredible paintings, but the building itself is a piece of art.
