Well WOW. They have completely opened up the Moneda! I guess you would say it is City Hall or the White House or something like that. It is the place where Pinochet´s people murdered Salvator Allende, among others. Anyway, I walked right up, asked the carabinero how to get to the museum and next thing you know... I am walking RIGHT INTO the Moneda. Talk about transparency. They have a museum of the americas in the lower levels, and various shops for chilean handicrafts, etc. Really, I could not have fathomed 20 years ago that someday I would just walk right in.
