In the commune of Hualpén, province of Concepción, the Pedro del Río Zañartu park and museum is located, baptized with the name of the illustrious Penquista neighbor who donated it to the city along with an incredible collection of objects collected compulsively on trips around the world. to whom it was launched as an antidote to the sadness for the loss of his family.
It houses an eclectic and exotic collection of more than 3,000 pieces from all over the world. From a Japanese doll to an Egyptian mummy, passing through coins, books, paintings, armor, Chinese ceramics, figures of sacred art, Mapuche silverware, a Fuegian canoe and a ritual costume of a Colombian tribe, in addition to the dependencies of the family home. , with their Victorian furniture, they make up the crammed fruit of a desperate collector, who used his ships and his fortune to travel the planet collecting whatever object could contribute to fill the void left by the death of his wife and 2 children.
The aristocrat Rosa Serrano, Don Pedro's first wife, died in 1880, along with the couple's two children, as a result of a fierce diphtheria epidemic, an intractable disease at that time. Four trips around the world were the option of the unfortunate widower, to overcome the tragedy. A more than viable company if one considers the solvency of this man who owns a productive farm that sold wheat, milk, cheeses, among other products, and whose assets included five ships, one of which he lost on a voyage. Exploits in which he not only accumulated objects, but also experiences, which he narrates in his book Journey for a Chilean around the world, prefaced by none other than Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna.
