Museo de la Moda on Postcard

"Strike a Pose The privately owned "Fashion Museum" is one of those quirky places in Santiago that is fun--especially if you have a love for fashion. Founded by the Yarur Bascuñán family, one of the textile moguls in Chile in the early 20th century, the museum's permanent collection spans several centuries. Attractions include John Lennon's jacket and Madonna's conical bra (designed by John Paul Gaultier) alongside dresses from Lady Di. Temporary exhibits have ranged from World War II uniforms to "Back to the Future" theme and currently Brazilian soccer. There's a café to linger on afterwards with an espresso."

Big disapointment. We wanted to visit museum of fashion. We got exhibition of FIFA world championship 1962 and couple of nicely furnished rooms. And they claim: "MORE THAN 17,000 PIECES OF FASHION IN CONSERVATION" - from Baroque to WWII. Where??? Big part of the museum currently empty. I understand if they prepare it for next exhibition but then it's definitely not worthy 10 euros admission per person for what they show...

Liked this space. Simple but elegant. The way they preserved the house and converted it to use as a museum is good. There is an exhibition of wardrobe of actress Sharon Tate.

The house is very nice . The fashion is lacking. being told it's a museum I would expect to be at the museum a minimum of 1 hour. There are only 3 rooms which 2 of them are small with fashion items and 1 big one. I was surprised to see majority of the rooms to be about the set of rooms from the family who lived here. The receptionist is very cold and unwelcoming. She just goes thru the motions and gives no sort of direction. The only two nice things were the security personnel at the museums are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is relaxing and has a nice music selection.

Great for fashion fans like myself but the price is extremely steep for the 3-4 exhibits. There's also plenty of room for improvement and variety in the exhibitions they do have. I'd also love to see more exhibits on Latin American influence in fashion.

The name of the museum is misleading. This is a preserved home of chillean emigrants. This is not a place to see conserved and historical garments, shoes, hats or handbags. The *museum* offers 3 small exhibits a year - 2 rooms maybe. When we were there it was Curt Cobain's sneakers and tees - even after living in Seattle this one felt flat. We were advised that if you had a legimate interest in fashion and/or conservation a pre-arranged guided tour could maybe be arranged in advance.

Hace mucho tiempo quería visitar el museo, y me encantó! Es una pena que no cuenten con una exhibición permanente pero se agradece el buen trabajo curatorial de las muestras temporales. El recorrido por las habitaciones de la casa resulta armonioso con la propuesta de la exhibición de ropa. Definitivamente es una joyita dentro de la ruta museística en Santiago.

Excelente museo, muy lindo y bien presentado todo. La casa en si es hermosa, especialmente el patio. Tienen también una cafetería que luce muy bien, pero nunca la probé así que no se si recomendarla. Vale mucho la pena visitarlo cuando hay una muestra interesante.
