Museo Mirador Lukas
About This Museum
Tucked away on the picturesque Gervasoni Promenade in Valparaíso's vibrant hills, the Museo Mirador Lukas is a delightful tribute to the city's most beloved illustrator. It feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into the whimsical world of Renzo Pecchenino, known to all as Lukas. You'll find his iconic cartoons and affectionate portrayals of 'porteños' and their colorful, chaotic port city everywhere you look. It’s a place that captures the true soul and humor of Valparaíso.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits trace Lukas's entire career, from his early political satire to his later, more nostalgic works. Don't miss his famous illustrated maps of Valparaíso, which are both charming and incredibly detailed, filled with hidden jokes and local characters.
Visitor Information
It's located at Paseo Gervasoni 448 on Cerro Concepción—a perfect stop while exploring the hills. Be prepared for a bit of a climb, as is everything in Valpo, but the view from the promenade right outside is well worth it.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a charming, typical 19th-century Chilean home with a brightly colored facade that fits right in with the character of the historic cerro.
