Before going back to France ... Juliette and Lisa were my flatmates for 5 months in Santiago. They were in Chile for an Erasmus program. We got along very well and here are our last two weeks in pictures. Between museums and food...the last two weeks! Santiago - Centre KLIMT It was a real mess...to find the correct information! It was to celebrate the 100th death of Klimt. Based on reproductions: drawings and paintings, in total 40. The dates, the location, the opening hours no precise information... We were so motivated ... such a disappointment! 10 reproductions max!!! Under reproductions I thought of painters who reproduced them, not at all it was only copies! Entering Klimt´s world was just a door to discover more and go to a REAL exhibition! MUSEO DE LA SOLIDARIDAD SALVADOR ALLENDE Not far away from the Klimt´s exhibition, the MSSA Museo de la Solidarad por Chile 1971 - 1973 Founded to respond to a social and cultural situation after the 60´s decade, the cold war. Museo de la Resistancia y Museos de Salvador Allende 1973-1990 Founded to respond to a social and cultural situation after the 60´s decade, the cold war. Musei de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende 1990 - The Salvador Allend foundation started to get back the collection. Resistance and support in the 60 and 70´s against dictatorship Brussel´s heart Just delicious! THE MUST in Santiago... With Juliette and Lisa! Museo de la Memoria y de los Derechos Humanos- Museum of Memory and Human rights To commemorate the victims of human rights violations during the civic-military regime between 1973 and 1990. The museum was inaugurated in 2010. 3 storeys to depict the coup on 11th September 1973, poignant testimonials about the survivors, the last speech of Salvador Allende, the tortures, the camps, the protests in Chile and outside Chile against the regime, the media manipulation, Colonia Dignidad, the 3600 laws passed withing 13 months... until the Free Chile. The end of the dictatorship is not really explicit. there was a plebiscite and then that was it. 17 years of dictatorship ended like that! and what about the becoming of Pinochet????? nothing at all about it ... just NUNCA MAS! NEVER EVER AGAIN! WHAT THE STORY DID NOT TELL AT THE MUSEUM... IN A NUTSHELL Pinochet remained in the following government, went to London to get some to be cured, and in 1998 was arrested. From 1998 to his death, he managed not to be guilty of any crimes...He died without being judged. He was married and had got 4 children. Beyond the History ...related to that: A movie to watch: Colonia Dignidad. Salvador Allende´s last speech after the Palacio de la moneda was bombed, the Magallanes Radio was still on, he could broadcast his speech. Under those circumstances, as he knew he will not resign and not going to exile but commit suicide. During his last speech, he even spoke of himself in the past. https://www.marxists.org/archive/allende/1973/september/11.htm FOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!! Everyday is suhsi day... |
