Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Museum of Art of Puerto Rico)

Sunburned after too many beach days in Puerto Rico? Need a break from the relentless sun? Head indoors for an afternoon in the air-conditioned Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Museum of Art of Puerto Rico)!

This museum is a beautiful, modern facility with 24 exhibition galleries wandering through 130,000 square feet on four floors. The mostly contemporary pieces are distributed between a historic building in the west wing, the former municipal hospital, and an addition in the east wing.

The Puerto Rican art to be found inside is astonishing. All the pieces are labeled and interpreted in both Spanish and English.

The sculpture garden behind, in the middle of an urban neighborhood of theatres, restaurants, and office buildings, was a sublime discovery. Don’t miss it!

Don't miss a stroll through this cultural wonder in the Santurce neighborhood of San Juan. When you’re done, relax for an hour at Chimera rooftop bar, half a block away.
