In 1968, it was transferred to the Paris Pavilion of the Quinta Normal, which is now occupied by the Museo Artequin; Finally, on September 20, 1988, construction began on the modern museum building, located in Cerrillos commune on land that previously belonged to Los Cerrillos Airport (Avenida Pedro Aguirre Cerda No. 5000). The architect in charge of its design was Fernando Torres Arancibia.[1]
