Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) is opening its corporate building to the public for free guided tours and interactive experiences this Saturday [1].
The event allows citizens to engage directly with the national broadcaster's facilities, bridging the gap between the public and the institutions that document the country's collective memory.
As part of the Día del Patrimonio 2026 celebrations, the Santiago-based broadcaster will welcome visitors from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. [1]. The initiative is designed to reconnect the public with Chile’s cultural heritage and history [2].
“Abrimos nuestras puertas este sábado 30 de mayo para que la ciudadanía descubra nuestras instalaciones y viva experiencias interactivas,” Carlos López, Director of TVN, said [1].
Admission to the corporate building is free [1]. The event coincides with a nationwide effort to make historical and cultural sites accessible to the general population. This effort is a cornerstone of the annual heritage celebrations in Chile.
María José Pérez, Director of the Servicio Nacional del Patrimonio, said that the day is an opportunity for Chileans to learn about their history and heritage [2].
Visitors can expect to see the inner workings of the television studios and participate in activities that highlight the role of media in preserving national identity. The event serves as a public invitation to explore the intersection of modern broadcasting and historical preservation, a key element of the 2026 heritage program [2].
“TVN is opening its corporate building to the public for free guided tours and interactive experiences.”
By opening its doors during Día del Patrimonio, TVN is positioning itself not just as a media outlet, but as a cultural archive. This move reflects a broader trend in Chile to democratize access to institutional spaces, transforming corporate environments into temporary public museums to foster national identity.
