The staff was very friendly. They opened doors and helped guide you around. They had up children artwork in the basement. The exhibits were politically conscious and very powerful and interesting. More

Picked a rainy day during our vacation to go to museum. Paid $5 adults, $3 kids, which I thought was great deal. Not so much, after walking through entire museum & found only 2 exhibit rooms open, the rest were filled with crates & nothing displayed. If they were in between exhibits, then they should have either not charged admission... More

We went to the gallery on a rainy day in San Juan. It is a splendid building and has some interesting art work. Even my teenagers enjoyed! The sculpture garden is well worth the time. An enjoyable morning out. More

The day I visited the museum was free. It had some great local art spanning the gamut of art. It was quite a bit smaller than the building size might suggest. If it is not crowded I would only allow it one hour. The restaurant was closed the day I was there. More

Into contemporary art? This one offers good shows and doesn't cost anything. You can walk to it from the hotel strip but it's a bit of a trek. On the other hand, if you're into contemporary art, chances are you're also into a bit of a trek. More
