Mirador Interactive Museum

This guide to Mirador Interactive Museum in Santiago's La Granja district follows architect Juan Ignacio Baixas's rippling concrete design and its copper roof, and the museum's founding in the 1990s under Fundacion Tiempos Nuevos and First Lady Marta Larraechea. It traces how Chile's copper trade funds much of the country's economy while this museum, opened in 2000, was built to give science lessons freely to a neighborhood mining money rarely reaches. Listen for how the roof's color has changed since it opened.
