Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile
Date Added: 19th Nov 2020
Site Type: Museum
Country: Chile
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 3 Access 5
Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile submitted by davidmorgan on 4th Aug 2019. These remarkable wooden statues were placed on top of tombs in ancient Mapuche cemeteries. They reflect the spirit (am) of those buried there and are intended to assist them in their journey to the afterlife. Chiefs and great warriors were sent to the east after death, to roam among the volcanoes of Kalfumapu, the "blue land". All others went to the west, to eat bitter potatoes beyond the sea.

Log Text: main buildings destroyed by fire in October 2019. Will be reconstructed but this will take years. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuri_Castle#2019_fire. A tragic loss, it had taken decades to re-build it after the destruction during WWII. We were lucky to visit it just days before the fire – one of the most spectacular reconstructions I have ever seen.

Visited: Would like to visit
Swinside submitted by Energyman on 27th Sep 2017. I've just re-read the initial description, and have to amend it slightly. The circle is not quite complete - There were originally 57 stones, 3 are missing, making 54. This took me two days to work out, going from Jack Morris-Eyton's originals. The drone picture here I just managed with a rickety, unstable lash-up.
