a time gone by, this mansion illustrates the wealth and power of Sara Braun. Plush, lush and luxurious through out. Sad in a way to see places like this as simple museums rather than actually being lived in. Gorgeous period furniture and decorating. Worth the visit to get a feel for that time as well as Sara herself, who is a very interesting woman. Visit her mausoleum also.

A fun visit, liked the care taken to present views of the times, rooms decorated in original furnishings. Interesting gallery in basement!

part of it is the old house that you self tour some of the rooms on two floors, very nice wood work. Back part of house is a hotel which you sort of exit through. Didn't cost much and we enjoyed it.

This mansion is part of the Punta Arenas landmark tour. It overlooks the plaza, and offers fascinating insight into Punta Arenas a hundred years ago. It is amazing that immigrants from Europe built such lavish places to live in such a remote part of the world.

Opulent with history. They give you dusters to wear over your boots! There is some interesting historical stuff too, all in Spanish but there is an english written guide

This is really nothing more than an old mansion but it really is pretty. Once you are done here, slide into the adjoining bar for a drink - it's almost as lovely.

Admission is so cheap ($1?) you need to go to understand the history of the region, but the tiny English brochure is so poorly translated and so brief that you don't grasp as much of the history as you could if they would put more effort into it. You walk through a few rooms and upstairs, on your own, and that is it. Takes 10 min.

You can enjoy this exhibit of the home and lifestyle of Sarah Braun. The furnishings, wall decor, carpentry all show the opulence and level of living she attained. Some areas are in need of a little TLC. make sure you visit the Braun-Menendez museum too.

Tienen muebles de la época y se puede visitar casi toda la casa. Sería mucho mejor con un guía que contará la historia familiar.
