The Arica House of Culture is a vibrant cultural hub housed in a former customs building near the port. It hosts rotating art exhibitions, live theater performances, and a permanent collection of artifacts that tell the story of Arica's pre-Columbian and colonial past. Visitors can explore galleries showcasing works by local and national artists, attend a play or concert, or browse the historical displays, which include mummies and pottery from the Chinchorro culture. The building itself, with its neoclassical facade and spacious courtyards, adds to the experience.
