Old San Juan - Museum of Art and History

(Local Name: Museo de Arte e Historia) Formerly a market building built in 1855, this building, now the Museo de Arte E Historia (Museum of Art and History) was restored in 1979 as a cultural center. This museum showcases Puerto Rican history, art and music, and is a tribute to Puerto Rican culture.

The Museo de Arte e Historia features a regular roster of rotating exhibits from Puerto Rico and beyond. The displays are in both English and Spanish and museum staff are friendly and helpful. The building housing the Museo de Arte e Historia is a fine example of colonial architecture.
