- Palacio de Bellas Artes building: the main draw, with its early twentieth century facade, marble staircases and a big glass and iron roof over the central hall.
- Rotating contemporary exhibitions: the shows change often and favor Chilean and Latin American artists, so each visit differs.
- Permanent collection of Chilean art: paintings, sculpture and prints from the university’s holdings show how local art moved from tradition toward experiment.
- Photography and video work: the museum regularly shows lens-based art that reflects Chile’s recent political history.
- Parque Forestal frontage: the long park outside, shaded by old trees, is the best place to sit after a gallery loop.
- Neighboring Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes: it shares the palace and is the easy add-on, with classic Chilean painting to contrast

- Gift shop and bookshop: small, but good for artist books and posters you will not find in standard souvenir stalls.
