No.1 spot is "Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino" in downtown Santiago. It covers everything from Mexican Aztec's up to the lesser known Mapuche civilization in southern Chile. I have probably seen enough broken Inca ceramics for the rest of my life, but with a collection this wide it was well worth the visit! Amongst my favourite pieces were the Chemamull, a set of beautiful wooden statues, originating from an ancient Mapuche burrial cult. And for those who fancy disturbing oddities: What about Xipe-Totec, the flayed-skin god? The life-sized statue of a man wearing the entire flayed skin of a human being, after ripping out it's heart in a gladiator sacrifice festival - for the Aztec's a symbol of rebirth and renewal of the season..., for me it's stuff of horror movies.
