It’s always a treat visiting the house of a fellow writer: it reflects the poet‘s character, creativity and offers a glimpse into the life of the artist. Pablo Neruda‘s house reminded me a lot of that of Jules Verne - playful - funny at times, when you see how he labeled his salt and pepper shakers. He loved the sea and thus decorated rooms accordingly, like his captain‘s bar. His dining room featured a cabinet Neruda could „disappear“ in, because it had a hidden door at the back through which he could leave his guests for a quick nap. All in all a beautiful place to visit when you’re in Santiago.

Lovely museum dedicated to Pable Neruda. It tells the story of his background and significance as a poet, diplomat and social conscience well. There are lots of interesting artifacts and personal memorabilia as Pablo and his companion (who the home was bought for) were tireless accumulators of unique items and pieces. Very accessible in the Bellavista area of Santiago and a nice way to spend a couple of hours to absorb some history.

I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of Pablo Neruda (nor did I know much about him and his life), but I went to this museum anyway… and ended up really enjoying it! I learned about his life and work, and loved the artsy, eclectic house. I highly recommend a visit whether you’re a fan of Neruda or not!

This is a cool museum even if you don’t know much about Pablo Neruda. Everyone is given an audio device in a language of their choice and there are clearly labeled spots in the house that go in order of the audio buttons. No photography!

Neruda’s house is beautiful and really offers insight into the poet. The introductory video and the audio guide were both well done and helpful, and I found the staff to be kind. Highly recommend to anyone who is a Neruda fan or interested in Chilean culture.

Interesting home/museum which we just happened upon. It's probably not high on the list of must-see places in Santiago, but enjoyable nevertheless. My only grumble is that photos are not permitted. Why not? It's how we all remember our travels. We were there a month ago and I have already forgotten much of what was in the home/museum.

Visited the museum to walk around and see Pablo Neruda's house in Santiago. Entry fee/person is 95000 chilean pesos. Museum provides audio guide which is pretty decent and provides a lot of information and is well paced. Touring the house/museum took us 30mins and is a nice way to spend some time. House is in shape of a boat and makes for a fun visit.
