Description

Museum of Science and Technology (Mucytec)

Its mission is to complement and strengthen the teaching of science in Chile and to be an alternative of permanent education for all those who do not have access to scientific and technical information. Founded in 1985, it was the country's first interactive museum.

Julio's River Room

This room presents an interesting exhibition, composed by a collection of old sound apparatuses, among which stand out recorders, cylindrical sound reproducers, phonographs, telegraphs and radios of the twentieth century. Most of these objects were donated by the outstanding engineer Julio del Río Bretignere, founding partner of the Private Corporation for the Dissemination of Science and Technology (CORPDICYT), president and former general manager of RCA Victor de Chile.

In the sample, different acoustic artifacts of reproduction, recording, emission and reception of sound information (turntables) and electromagnetic (tube radios) are distinguished.

The collection is one of the few existing in our country, since it rescues the history of the beginnings of the telecommunications like the telegraph, that sent brief messages to distant distances (telegram), radio transmitters, that emitted and received of an interlocutor through Of radio waves.

The room is a space that represents a time of technological dreams, which mixes the aesthetics, history and scientific advances that humanity experienced in those times.
 

Science lab
Professor Carlos Rivera Cruchaga

This new room of the Museum of Science and Technology, was born for the motivation to preserve part of the research articles and teaching of Professor Carlos Rivera Cruchaga. This distinguished professor, studied Physics in the University of Chile and realized studies of Optics in Europe. He has a vast experience as a researcher and teacher at the University of Chile, Universidad Católica and Universidad Austral. He used an innumerable number of laboratory instruments, including spectrographs, goniometers, microtomes, galvanometers, coils, multimeters and electric generators, among others.

The objective of this space is to be a science laboratory for our visitors, where there is a reproduction and studies of physical principles. These research articles by Prof. Carlos Rivera Cruchaga were donated by his wife, Mrs. Violeta Rojas de Rivera.
