Many have told us about the outstanding quality of the Ponce
Art Museum (Museo de Arte), but two large earthquakes in January 2020 changed
all that, when the main building was badly damaged and closed. They finally
reopened a section of the museum this year, and we decided to check it out!
After the earthquakes, the Museum displayed items at its gallery
in San Juan, and took to the streets with workshops to shelters and schools.
When COVID hit, it expanded its digital platform. Now it’s gradually opening
again while raising funds to repair the earthquake damage.
The museum still has very limited offerings, though we
really enjoyed what we saw. It costs just $6 to get in, half price for seniors.
Free guided tours are conducted at 10 AM (Spanish) and 1 PM (English).
Note: Ponce is pronounced POHN-say.
