Fodor's Review:
The colonial-era Palacio de la Real Audiencia served as the meeting place of Chile's first Congress in September 1810. The building then functioned as a telegraph office before the museum moved here in 1911. It's worth the small admission charge to see the interior of the 200-year-old structure, where exhibits tracing Chile's history are arranged chronologically in rooms centered around a courtyard. Among the exhibits are large collections of coins, stamps, and traditional handicrafts, including more than 3,000 examples of native textiles.
