1. Museo de Arte de Ponce
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 554 reviews
Its internationally renowned collection comprises more than 5,000 works of art from various cultures, creating a unique dialogue between the Old and New Worlds.

Coming to Ponce, the last thing I expected to find was such a well curated museum. And much to my surprise, it had one of my favorite pieces - Flaming June. The museum's history is interesting and it shows how personal taste can create an amazing collection. Small space, easily accessible art. Definitely worth the time and visit. Small gift shop that doesn't take advantage of the collection. Absurdly low entry fee - which I appreciated because it allows more people to access the collection. However, I strongly encourage those who can to donate so the museum can continue to benefit future generations.

3. Greenwood Great House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 199 reviews
Built during an era of elegance and brutality, Greenwood has retained the atmosphere of the 19th century and continues to capture the imagination of its visitors. The house was built by the Barretts of Wimpole Street London in 1800. Unique among local plantation houses, Greenwood survived unscathed during the slave rebellion of Christmas 1831. It still has most of its original furniture including the largest and rarest collection of musical instruments and books in the island.

We visited the Turks and Caicos National Museum as part of the Hop on and Hop off Excursion on a rainy afternoon. It turned out to be the highlight of the entire excursion! A knowledgeable guide started us off with a brief introduction of the Museum. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Turks and Caicos, the salt mining industry, the disappearance of the Lucayans etc, There were also extensive exhibits about John Glenn's landing in Grand Turk and a gift shop shelved with reasonable souvenirs! A real gem of a museum and a must-see!

10. Diego Velazquez Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 297 reviews
Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom
The museum is in fact two houses joined together. At the front is the oldest house in Santiago de Cuba - some say in Cuba itself, constructed from 1516 to 1530 for the governor Diego Velazquez, with historic Mudejar-style interiors; it is then connected to a later house at the rear to create a substantial museum which displays Cuban furniture and decorative arts from the 16th century onwards, in rooms which have been sensitively restored. Definitely worth visiting both for the architecture and for the collections on display. There is also a furnace previously used to make gold ingots. from a time when the building was used as a 'House of Transactions'. The assistants are helpful in explaining things, though generally in Spanish.
