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.

Reviewed By zizland - Bellevue, United States

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.
