As is traditional, the Federico Santa María Technical University joins the celebrations of Heritage Day, so this Sunday, May 26, it will open the doors of its emblematic buildings, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., where it will offer different activities free for the entire community.
In this way, on the Casa Central Valparaíso Campus, USM Tours will be held that will begin in the building called Casa del Rector, since previously the highest authority of the campus lived in that place, where currently one of the institutional museums is also located. Within the walk, you will also visit the USM Radio and other highlights such as the swimming pool and its extensive gardens.
Likewise, in Building A, the exhibition “Federico Santa María: personal objects of our founder” will be exhibited. Between 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., in different spaces on campus, the Tuna Universitaria will give traveling concerts and, at 5 p.m., the USM Student Orchestra will give a concert for the public at the Aula Magna Theater.
Pedestrian entrances will be through España Avenue 168 Los Placeres 466, Valparaíso, while there will be vehicular access through Valdés Street 165.
Federico Santa María Building
In the financial center of Valparaíso, specifically in the Federico Santa María Building, located at Prat 790, the doors will open between 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m., so that people can visit the Federico Santa María Museum, located in the basement of the building and where you can see the old vaults of the Stock Exchange that operated there, as well as period furniture.
Meanwhile, at 12:30 p.m., the USM Chamber Choir will perform the concert “Great Choral Pieces.”
It should be noted that Radio USM, on the 99.7 FM and 145 AM dial, will have special programming from 1 p.m. to midnight.
