Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico
A large art museum in Santurce with a collection spanning from the colonial era to the present day, focusing on Puerto Rican art. Behind it lies a sculpture garden.
The Museum of Art of Puerto Rico (MAPR) opened in 2000. Its main building is a neoclassical hospital dating from the 1920s, and the new wing is modern in style. The collection focuses mainly on Puerto Rican art, ranging from 18th-century painter José Campeche to Francisco Oller and contemporary artists. Highlights include large stained-glass windows and a sculpture garden of about 2 hectares. Admission is about USD 10. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It's about a 10-minute walk from La Placita, so you can also explore the street murals nearby.
