Interactive museography for the Río Maipo Wetland Sanctuary
An open-air museum experience that raises awareness and informs visitors, strengthening their connection with the territory
The Maipo River Wetland: Museography for a Socio-ecosystem initiative highlights the cultural and natural heritage of the Maipo River estuary through an interpretive and interactive experience that immerses residents and visitors in the area’s history, biodiversity, and ecological dynamics.
The museographic design features sensory and participatory stations that encourage visitors to explore the wetland from multiple perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of this vital ecosystem and its connection with local communities.
Public-private collaboration for the enhancement of the Wetland
This initiative was developed by Fundación Cosmos with support from the Public Science Program of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation. Its purpose is to strengthen the relationship between the community and this protected ecosystem by fostering curiosity, observation, and active participation in its care.
A central feature of the project is the digital interpretation station, created in collaboration with Audubon Americas, which explores the fascinating phenomenon of bird migration. Through interactive content, it reveals how migratory birds connect ecosystems and communities across the hemisphere, reminding visitors that the health of the Río Maipo Wetland is intertwined with the well-being of habitats and people throughout the Americas.
Altogether, the exhibition includes 12 interpretive stations distributed throughout the Río Maipo Wetland Park, offering an educational and recreational experience that brings more than 25,000 visitors each year closer to understanding and appreciating this valuable socio-ecosystem.
