Museo – Taller de Casapueblo

Once the home of celebrated Uruguayan artist Carlos Paez Vilaro, this eye-catching seaside Mediterranean-style structure is today a modern art museum.

The museum is absolutely worth a visit. The rich work of Carlos Páez Vilaró (1923-2014) is well presented. Furthermore his development as an artist is documented: His friendship with Picasso, visits to Albert Schweitzer, construction of Casapueblo with the help of many local friends and my stories more like the resuce of his son. This is a fantastic location at the sea that offers much variety up to drinks and snack. Best time to visit is about 1 hour before sunset: Enjoy the museum, visit the cinema, grab a drink and enjoy the ceremony of the sun: A marvellous poem during sunset, spoken by the artist himself. Best opportunity to do the best sunset photos of your life! If you can make it stay in the hotel for a couple of days and enjoy the beaches and walks e.g. Arboretum Lussich.

Do not miss this beach. I saw there some of the best sunsets in the world. The sand is not the best. But there is plenty of sand (wide beach) and the ocean is calm.

If you want to see the most beautiful sunset in Punta del Este, you need to visit Casapueblo. The unique sea view with the prayers to the sun in the voice of Páez Vilaró render the sunset a mystic moment. You can also buy part of Páez Vilaro’s collection as well as replicas. Do not miss it!
