位于智利圣地亚哥市中心的智利前哥伦布艺术博物馆刚刚得到70%的扩建，这使得它能够增加展示区、存储空间和保护实验室。由于投资1700万美元，以及必和必拓与米内拉·埃斯坎迪达之间的长期联盟，博物馆在经过两年的建设后，得以更新其设施，并于本月向公众开放。

The Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, located in downtown Santiago, Chile has just received an expansion of 70% that has allowed it to increase display areas, storage space and its conservation laboratories. Due to an investment of $17 million and a long-term alliance between BHP Billiton and Minera Escondida, the Museum was able to renew its facilities and open its doors to the public this month after 2 years of construction.

扩建的亮点之一是Smiljan Radic设计的450平方米展厅，将容纳一个新的永久性展览。

Among the highlights of the expansion is a 450 square meter showroom designed by Smiljan Radic, which will house a new permanent exhibit.

这次干预的目的是使智利前哥伦布艺术博物馆更有效、更充分地融入城市环境，提高收藏的保存和展览水平。它还力求保持前皇家海关大楼(1805年)的空间结构完好无损，以便进行必要的翻修，从而提高整体质量。还对该方案进行了重组，以改善职能的分配，并将分散在其他建筑物中的重要职能集中起来。因此，利用最新的技术和国际标准的展览、研究和保护，实现了空间的更新。

The objectives of the intervention were to maintain and integrate the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art more effectively and fully into its urban environment, improving the standards of preservation and the exhibitions of the collections. It also sought to keep the spatial structure of the former Royal Customs (1805) building intact, allowing for needed renovations that improved quality overall. The program was also reorganized in order to improve the distribution of functions and centralize vital functions that had been scattered throughout other buildings. Thus, a renovated space utilizing the newest technologies and international standards of exhibition, research, and conservation was achieved.

干预的策略是利用地下层来扩建博物馆。这一战略允许对密集城市地块中的遗产/历史建筑进行翻修，而不改变其原来的性质。因此，在博物馆南北庭院的地下两层增加了1300平方米的展览空间、仓库、保护实验室和游客服务区域。一楼的北庭院也增加了300平方米的面积，以便为行人提供更多的入口。

The strategy for the intervention was to utilize the underground levels for the expansion of the museum. This strategy allows for heritage/historical buildings in dense urban plots to be renovated without altering their original character. Thus, 1300 square meters of exhibition space, warehouses, conservation laboratories and visitor services areas were added in two underground levels beneath the northern and southern courtyards of the Museum. 300 square meters were also added to the northern patio on the ground floor in order to incorporate more access points for pedestrians.

新建成的陈列室位于第一层，是Smiljan Radic设计的一个450平方米的大空间，用于举办一个新的永久性展览-“智利之前的智利”-专门介绍在智利居住了15 000年的土著人民的文化传统。这座大厅高8米，由混凝土制成，覆盖亚马逊森林，建于历史博物馆大楼之下(事实证明，这是一项复杂的工程挑战)。

The newly built showroom, located on level -1, is a large 450 square meter space designed by Smiljan Radic to house a new permanent exhibition - “Chile before Chile” - dedicated to the cultural traditions of indigenous peoples who have lived in Chile for 15,000 years. Eight meters high, made of concrete, and clad in Amazonian woods, the hall was built beneath the historic museum building (proving to be a complex challenge of engineering).

为了方便游客体验，突出哥伦布前文化的重要性，“智利先于智利”展出了350件文物，这些文物是根据地理区域和主题而特别挑选的，因为它们具有父系价值和民族多样性。这次展览的设计是由杰弗里皮卡，一位在伦敦大英博物馆有30多年经验的专业人士提供的，他与博物馆馆长、工程师和建筑师、照明专家、平面设计师和其他人密切合作，准备这次独家展览。该房间还利用了最新的技术为展览，以及德国展示，以提高收藏的视觉质量。

In order to ease the visitor experience and highlight the importance of pre-Columbian cultures, “Chile before Chile” presents 350 artifacts, specially selected for their patrimonial worth and ethnic diversity, which are distributed according to geographical area and theme. The design of this exhibition was provided by Geoffrey Pickup, a professional with over 30 years of experience at the British Museum in London, who worked closely with Museum curators, engineers and architects, lighting experts, graphic designers, and others, to prepare this exclusive show. The room also utilizes the latest technology for the exhibition as well as German showcases that enhance the visual quality of the collection.

在第二层地下是一个400平方米的研究中心和实验室设施，那里将保存文物。这些被玻璃环绕的设施将开放，让学生和教师观察考古保护工作。

Within the second underground level is a 400 square meter research center and laboratory facility where artifacts will be preserved. These facilities, which are surrounded by glass, will be left open to allow students and teachers to observe the work of archaeological conservation.

该项目还通过改造博物馆周围的传统画廊和邀请过路人，为城市提供了一个真正的城市空间。殖民地庭院的魅力得到恢复；北庭院被覆盖起来，允许市民全年使用，南部庭院以砾石地板为特色。

The project also delivers a true civic space for the city through the renovation of traditional galleries that surround the museum and invite in passers-by. The charm of the colonial courtyard is restored; the north patio is covered, allowing for year-round use by citizens, and the southern patio features a gravel floor.

这一雄心勃勃的项目的长期可持续性由于公私伙伴关系而成为可能，其中包括：智利政府(通过“双百周年遗产计划”参与)、国家文化和艺术理事会、家庭基金会Larraín Echenique(负责博物馆的机构)和圣地亚哥市。

The long-term sustainability of this ambitious project has been made ​​possible due to a public-private partnership including: the Chilean government (which is participating through the Bicentennial Legacy program), the National Council for Culture and the Arts; the Family Foundation Larraín Echenique (the institution responsible for the Museum); and the Municipality of Santiago.
