A display of objects from the central and south areas of Chile has been put on display in the Tomás Lago Museum of Popular Art. The artifacts have been dated to around the years 40 and 50, when the concept of the museum was formed and pioneered by the founder Tomás Lago.
Ceramics from Pimaire and Quinchamalí, objects from the Guaso world and Mapuche culture, and other unique pieces, including paintings, compose a display which is very close to its national public and very rich for foreigners.
They are objects that have been selected and are available to help in the understanding of the imagery that makes up the identity of the country. "In each exposition we have selected materials and themes such as: textiles, basketry, pottery, popular representation, Mapuche culture, prison art, toys, including objects made of goat horn." explains the director of the Tomás Lago Museum of Popular Art, Nury González.
It is a display to remember and be surprised by.
