El Museo de Arte Colonial San Francisco

Next to the San Francisco church, in the middle of the noisy city, is located on the first floor of a 17th century convent, the San Francisco Museum of Colonial Art, one of the oldest buildings in the country, inaugurated in 1623 .

Come and participate with family and friends in our guided tours of the seven rooms of the museum, six made up of important and representative pieces of colonial art and one of personal objects by the poet Gabriela Mistral, who donated the medal and Nobel Prize diploma.

The San Francisco Colonial Art Museum will immerse you in the life of the old 17th century Franciscan convent.
Its wide corridors and halls that have a wonderful collection of paintings - considered one of the most important collections of Colonial Art in the country - furniture, silverware and sculptures, in addition to its frescoes and Delicate murals invite you on a journey to our origins and to learn about the ancient traditions of this convent, which since 1969 has dedicated a space of its infrastructure to house the museum.
