Destino Valparaíso, a new museum dedicated to the history of Chile's early immigrants, is set to open in a historic building in Valparaíso. The museum aims to illuminate the significant contributions of these immigrants through innovative programming that includes technology, performances, and culinary experiences. Founder Eduardo Dib, a local philanthropist and businessman with immigrant roots, emphasizes that the museum's focus is on the foundational role these pioneers played in establishing the city and country rather than current immigration narratives.
"Embarking on this journey was an act of unparalleled bravery. These were true pioneers," says Eduardo Dib, emphasizing the courage of early immigrants.
"It's really the story of the establishing of a city, of a country. This is what we want to relay to audiences," Dib explains about the museum's focus.
