Humberstone was the most important of all the saltpeter mines which boomed in Northern Chile at the beginning of the 19th century and which brought wealth to English investors. And yet, we dedicate this room to the Chilean workers, simple people, who made great sacrifices in their search for their fortune and who shaped their own culture over the years which was connected to the minerals of the desert.
