Museo Regional Iquique

About this place

Museo Regional Iquique is one of the best showcases in the history of North America and showcases a significant summary of the region of Tarapaca. The Regional Museum of Iquique is defined as a centre that collects, preserves and disseminates the archaeological, ethnographic and historical patrimonial heritage of the region. In this way, both collections with more than four thousand years old are exhibited until instruments used two centuries ago during the development of the saltpetre industry. Although the main stage of the museum is known for having the most arid desert in the world, it has also been outstanding for spreading the historical and cultural heritage from its earliest settlements.
