Museo de Artes Visuales MAVI UC

This guide to the Museo de Artes Visuales MAVI UC in Santiago follows collectors Manuel Santa Cruz and Hugo Yaconi, who spent four years touring their trove of Chilean painting and sculpture through European cities in the 1990s before deciding it needed a permanent home. You'll hear how they hired architect Cristian Undurraga to fit a museum onto a small plaza the two men had carved out of an old neighborhood, and the choices he made so the building wouldn't loom over the mansions around it. It closes with what opened on the site in 2001, and who the collection introduced to Chile.
