The Museum of Contemporary Art of Valdivia (MAC Valdivia), dependent on the Universidad Austral de Chile, is located in the ancient ruins of the former Anwandter brewery, on the banks of the Calle-Calle River on Teja Island. Founded in 1994 under the rectorship of Manfred Max-Neef and at the initiative of the Valdivian visual artist Hernán Miranda, the museum has become an icon of the industrial memory of German colonization and an archaeological vestige of Valdivia.
