About

This museum is best suited for travelers who want a substantial cultural stop that includes both art and performance. It's one of the biggest museums in the Caribbean, featuring a five-story stained glass window by a local artist and a 400-seat theater that hosts shows. The garden, filled with native Puerto Rican flowers, and the permanent collection inspired by Francisco Oller make it a standout in Santurce.

Budget-friendly admission is a plus. Reviews mention it's very gay-friendly, with a lounge for drinks during theater intermissions. Head there on Wednesday for evening hours until 8pm. Head a few blocks north for the Museum of Contemporary Art if you want a more modern focus.
