Ascensor Concepcion

Fine arts museum with mostly Chilean artists but it also has a section of artists of European origin. The palace is a mansion, formerly owned by a Croatian businessman, Pascual Baburizza, and is a sight of itself. It was turned into museum in 1971.

This funicular takes you up to a viewing platform right in front of Palacio Baburizza.

The central square near the port and the heart of the old seaport city.

With a beautiful staircase and lately been reconstructed.

Another useful staircase.

Two floors of exhibits, focusing on the natural history and geography of Chile, particularly the cross-section Juan Fernandes, Valparaiso and the Andes following the latitude of the former two. Biogeography and geology dominate and the museum does a good job showcasing Chile's incredibly diversity both on dry land and the Pacific Ocean.
