The New Museum of Santiago (NuMu) is a forthcoming cultural institution in Chile, backed by Claudio Engel and his family. Scheduled to begin construction in August, the museum will feature over 2,000 square meters of exhibition space, including a sound-art room and an auditorium. The NuMu will showcase Engel's extensive art collection, significant for contemporary Chilean and Latin American art, providing a critical reference point in the region. It aims to engage the community with various programs, including exhibitions, performances, and events.
"The Engel Collection is an important reference point for contemporary art in our country and region, encompassing works by Chilean and Latin American artists from the 1960s to the present," says MarÃa Pies.
"It brings together key pieces of our history and heritage, constituting a collection of more than 1,000 works by more than 200 artists in various media," Pies adds.
Once completed, it will comprise more than 2,000 sq. m of exhibition space, a dedicated sound-art room and an auditorium with 180 seats to accommodate various events.
The museum will also include a library, restaurant and museum shop, aiming to enhance community engagement and educational opportunities.
