My Art House

Welcome to the Art House
In the Art House we design and build replicas of mummies from the Chinchorro culture for museums and educational institutions. Our works are completely based on the originals, they are made by expert artist and restorer Paola Pimentel Rocafull and her team. The replicas were shown on a programme on the well-known "Discovery Channel" and in the -chilean press, and they have been exhibited in various important museums in the world. These replicas are vitally important as they are usefull teaching tools, for study and exhibition. They also protect the original mummies, which are of immeasurable value, which permits this culture to be recognized in the whole world. The Art House is located in the city of Arica Chile, where the first mummies belonging to this ancient culture were found, in the surraundings of the Chinchorro beach, in 1917 by the German archaelogist Max Hule. It is for this reason that we taken on the responsability of raising awareness about this culture that was developed by an ancient group of fisherman, by means of constructing replicas in order to educate and protect this cultural heritage left to us for our ancestors. According to studies carried out with ultra-modern technology, the Chinchorro mummies are the most ancient archaeological objects of this kind in the world; they are even than the famous Egyptian mummies, which were however, the product of a belief system of a much more developed civilization. For this reason, these findings - carried out in South America - contradict the well-established theory in the scientific community which stipulates that only advanced societes could produce such elaborate procedures and belief such as these. So, if your institution would like to possess replicas of such important objects, you can request them in this way, and The Art House will elaborate an ad-hoc project with you according to your needs. You can visit our galleries on this web-site so that you can evaluate the quality and accuracy of our work and you can also learn more via our visitors's book.( Well, goodbye for now - we hope that one day you will be able to visit our beautiful city. See you soon ! )

Casa del Arte esta siuada en Arica Chile, donde se efectuaron los primeros hallazgos de momias artificialmente tratadas pertenecientes a la antiquisima cultura conocida como los Chinchorro, en las cercanias de la playa homónima, en 1917 por el arqueólogo aleman Max Hule, y es aqui donde se hicieron los principales descubrimientos efectuados con posterioridad . Por esta misma razón es que nosotros asumimos la responsabilidad de dar a conocer la cultura desarrollada por este antiguo grupo de pescadores y recolectores, a través de la ejecución de réplicas con el fin de educar y proteger el patrimonio cultural dejado por nuestros ancestros.
Según acabados estudios realizados con las técnicas mas modernas, las momias chinchorro son los objetos arqueológicos de su tipo mas antiguos del mundo, superando incluso a las conocidas egipcias, estas últimas empero producto de las creencias de una civilización muchisimo mas desarrollada, de ahí que el hallazgo efectuado en nuestra sudamerica contradiga aquella teoria antes bastante arraigada en la comunidad científica, que decía que solo una sociedad avanzada podía producir tan elaboradas técnicas, procedimienos y creencias como las que de estos últimos hallazgos se desprende. Es así, que si perteneces a una institución que desee poseer réplicas de tan importantes objetos, los puedes solicitar a través de esta vía, y Casa del Arte Arica elaborará para ustedes un proyecto a medida y según sus necesidades. Visite nuestras galerias en este sitio para que puedas apreciar la calidad y exactitud de nuestros trabajos, y cualquier observación o consulta la puedes efectuar a través de nuestro libro de visitas, por ahora me despido esperando que algún dia visiten nuestra linda ciudad, hasta muy pronto.
