Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico

A small museum but it has some good exhibitions going on. It seems the curators make effort to create awareness of the history and culture. It reflects the colonial times that intermingled and deepened reality in this island. Although it is only a tiny sample size, it was good to see.

Beautiful museum! It’s easy to navigate and very welcoming. The work is very detailed! We got to see the political exhibition surrounding tourism. I loved it and wish more people visiting the island would support the museum and learn something for once. Tickets were $8/person for expats

The art and stories are pretty good, but the pieces are difficult to understand for the average person due to their abstract nature, and having meaning that's personal to the artist's life experiences. There are several art pieces that you just won't understand, even with explanations.

A beautiful Museum with a stunning atrium space. I very much appreciate the architecture of this building with its rhythmic arches and contemporary space frame structure that encapsulates the outdoor atrium. This archetype provides a beautiful harmony between old and new which gives the user (us) the ability to appreciate the volume of space being presented. The art inside was both evocative and polarizing. The exhibits today tell stories about fragmentation, temporality, place, and identity. All were very emotional in their own way and I enjoyed the movement through all of the exhibits. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting and PR on a rainy or sunny day. Very inexpensive as well - $5 a pop per person.

Lovely little museum, but the top floor was closed, so a bit steep at $8 US per person for 3 small galleries. Not many explanations for the art pieces, but they were still impactful.

Great museum right in the middle of Ponce. The exhibits were amazing and took queer culture seriously with inclusive language! It was so impressive to see as most museums don’t prioritize marginalized communities. The exhibit on the top floor Cüirtopia, is one of the best exhibits I’ve ever been to in its breadth of creativity, humor, and made objects! There were 5 rooms in all so you can visit everything in about an hour to an hour and a half. You buy tickets in the gift shop and are $5 as of March 2022. Totally worth it!

So glad we had a chance to check out este museo! One of the coolest contemporary art museums I've ever been to, and for a small donation admission. We made reservations since we went on a Saturday afternoon, but they turned out not to be necessary; most of the time there were only a few other patrons around. Almost all of the exhibits were unabashedly political— I dig it. We learned a lot about the island's fraught colonial history through the lenses of various Puerto Rican artists, including women and queer artists. Some standout exhibits were "Cüirtopia: Soft Crash" and "The Museum of the Old Colony." José Muñoz would love Cüirtopia's queer of color imaginings— beautiful and thought-provoking. As for the latter exhibit, if gringo tourists have any doubt that "territory" isn't just a sly synonym for "colony," the carefully curated photos help illuminate these ongoing histories. Be aware that some of the content of this museum deals with "mature" (and at times disturbing) subjects, so folks with little kids may want to peek in ahead of the kiddos. It was also fun to see the student art gallery on the bottom floor, so be sure to check it out (it's near the bathroom). Will definitely return in the future! Access notes: a ramp to enter the building; an elevator once inside to access galleries on upper and lower floors. Accessible gendered restrooms on the lowest floor. Gift shop is narrow, may not fit a power chair.

Beautiful art pieces. Enjoyed reading about the art and it’s history. When I went early afternoon there weren’t that many people there so I say go early. More people started to arriving as I was making my way out
