  Valparaíso is a city with a vigorous cultural activity, birthplace of the bank, the bag, the firemen, the Chilean Navy, the telegraph, the telephony, the equestrian, the private education, the soccer, the cinema and the television, among others institutions of Chile. Since the beginning of Chilean history has enjoyed great importance in this aspect, since being the main port of the country, was receiving immigrants from Europe and other parts of the world
  
  We are right in the middle of the Open Sky Museum of Valparaiso.
  The fact that the paintings are arranged in a path through the hillside, in different positions, that there are stairways so special and pictorial, surrealistic - as the number 16 of Nemesio Antunez - expressionist, pop art, art optical, figurative and abstract, each of the painters chose his own wall, that is to say "his own canvas", that the artist has not been imposed on a common theme or homage - which is common in murals of the city - which symbolize the artist's own character in a close relationship with the neighbors as accomplices, collaborators, friends and critics - it is said that they supplied them with tea, kept their belongings at the end of the day and took care of the paintings - resulting in an illustration of the environment and the moment in which they are inserted, is properly a museum. It was inaugurated in 1992 with beautiful works by Nemesio Antúnez, Mario Toral and Roberto Matta among other great artists, and can be accessed by Elevador "Espíritu Santo"
