The completely restored building opened on 23 January 2009 , one hundred years after its original construction . An exhibition of photographs by Ana María Encina Lemarchand was the first to be staged in the restored building . In June 2009 , a non-political organization called the Corporación Cultural de Pichilemu ( Pichilemu Cultural Corporation ) was formed to manage the cultural center , in coordination with the local government . The center 's inauguration was supposed to take place in March of that year , with President Michelle Bachelet Jeria in attendance ; however , it was postponed until 27 January 2010 . Bachelet toured the rooms of the cultural center with Mayor Roberto Córdova , and later said that the center " is to merge itself with the origins of modern Pichilemu , restoring the facilities to do what is so necessary : to make room for the creativity , talent , imagination , dreams of so many young and many people . " After the earthquakes of 27 February , and 11 March 2010 , the cultural center was " slightly " damaged . The balustrades of both the northwest and southeast towers of the building fell down after the earthquakes ; in the northwest tower , a pole broke ; and there were some cracks and minor damage to the walls . Repairs took place in February 2011 , with an investment of fourteen million pesos ( US$ 28,000 ) by the government of Pichilemu
