Visual Memory of a Nation is a mural made by the Chilean painter Mario Toral, of 1200 square meters, thematically divided into two parts: Past and Present, which correspond to the eastern and western sectors of the Universidad de Chile station at the level of the platforms, separated by the mesanine. The great pictorial piece recreates as a "true visual narrative" the general history of Chile, rescuing its most significant milestones from the perspective of the artist, who develops a work heir to the Latin American mural tradition, founded in Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century.
