Municipal Museum of Modern Art
Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno
A 19th-century former temperance house beside San Sebastián Square, now showing contemporary Latin American art and serving as one of the main venues of the Cuenca International Biennial.
Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno occupies a building originally known as a 'house of a good death'. It has several white-walled courtyards and has been converted into an important space for contemporary Latin American art. Permanent and rotating exhibitions run alongside each other, and the regularly held Bienal de Cuenca is an important art event in Latin America. Admission is free. Closed on Mondays.
