Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende
Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende is a museum of Modern and Contemporary Art with one of the most important collections in Latin America, counting more than 2,700 artworks —a growing number thanks to continuing donations of works by prominent contemporary artists.
Its origins date back to 1971 in Santiago de Chile, when a project arose to promote the donation of artworks from artistic circles in the Americas and Europe to the Unidad Popular (Popular Unity) Government in order to create a museum for the people of Chile. The conviction and support of President Salvador Allende were essential, whereby his understanding of the historical proportion of the project enabled the necessary institutional conditions for the development of this museological venture, which remains relevant today.
