The Ralli Museums are created to showcase Latin American Art through the works of important, contemporary artists. Their origin goes back to Harry Recanati’s frequent trips to South America where he became enchanted with Latin American art due to its quality, mood, and color. With the acquisition of artwork from local artists, he begins his collection which is considered one of the most important collections in the world today. Motivated by a need to share this artistic heritage with the world, he and his wife, Martine, build five museums in the world: Punta del Este, Uruguay in 1988 Santiago, Chile in 1992 Ralli 1. Caesarea, Israel in 1993 Marbella, Spain in 2000 Ralli 2. Caesarea, IsraeI in 2007 Ralli Museum in Santiago opens its doors in 1992 and becomes the second Ralli Foundation museum. Located in the Vitacura area of Santiago, it has beautiful gardens and a large infrastructure with 16 exhibition halls that house an important collection of Latin American and European art.

Amazing in quality and quantity that is. Maybe if you use Uber or GPS you'll find the Ralli easier than I did. Totally worth the time I spent though. From the moment I walked in, I was entranced by the sculpture and paintings- most artists new to me, but as brilliant as any European art superstars. Looks like all 20th century art, in as many styles and genres as there are artists. The museum is quite large by Santiago's standards, and can host substantial temporary exhibitions without cutting into the permanent collection space. Some of the works may be more ... sensual than what's found in more Northern or European collections. Rather than ramble about what I saw though, I suggest a peek at their website, but not so much that you'll spoil any surprise. Admission is free too!
