Abstract

Despite a significant cultural heritage, currently, the city of Quilpué lacks an established and consolidated museum that narrates the history and connection of its inhabitants with the Marga Marga Valley. However, in the early 1980s, there was an interest from the Municipality in having a space that alludes to the importance of the history and archaeology of the area, what gave rise to the Quilpué Museum, which operated until 1983. Photographs related to its short institutional life and records of its activities in education and research of the central zone's past are collected and analyzed. Finally, there is reflection on the importance of photography in reconstructing the museum's history and about the need to have a space to mediate knowledge, disseminate, and reflect on heritage.
