A real gem for art lovers. European masters and Puerto Rican artists prominently featured. From the front desk representatives to the tour guides, guards and gift shop staff you will encounter pure professionalism and pride in their beautiful museum. Definitely worth the trip from San Juan.

Definitely a few hours is not enough to enjoy this museum! It is gorgeous!!! From the architecture of the building itself to the art inside! The souvenir shop is slightly expensive but dont miss it!!!! I would recomend you to call prior so you can get a tour guide. Also: if youre a student with a valid ID you get a discount! If youre going to Ponce dont miss the museum!!! P.S all the paintings, particularly scenery ones look way better live!

Beautiful paintings and classical works with a touch of contemporary art in the first floor. The place is also very esthetic. You can even see wild Puertorrican parrots around, which are endangered species.

Great collection of Puerto Rican art and a very decent collection of European art. A beautiful building and very easy to navigate.

Excellent museum! Extraordinary art and we learn a lot! Extremely inexpensive $6 per person for an enjoyable afternoon! Thanks!

Solid art museum. I see why its so renowned. Surprisingly not very busy either. Its not super extensive, but for the size of the island it is very impressive. Dont miss the parking lot. Its tiny and right before the museum. Also bags need to be checked at the main desk but its free so not a big deal. They have staff to let you know what can be photographed and what cant be. Make sure you go to their outside exhibits as well. Not many but worth your time.

A jewel in the crown of the Caribbean for art lovers! Unfortunately when I went with visiting family members there were no guides in the halls to explain the displays. I remember them being present in every hall in my previous visits. Hopefully they come back!

A beautiful museum, not just for the contents but also for the architecture.Well worth visiting, but check to see when entrance is free as it is sometimes on certain days.Make sure you also see the sculpture garden area outside at the rear of the building after you have found the most famous painting here, Flaming June by Lord Leighton in the pre-Raphaelite style.This museum was built in 1959, but the design by Edward Durell Stone(who deigned many well known buildings, including the Kennedy Performing Center in Washington) looks so classicly designedthat it could have been built much later.It had a large restoration about 10 years ago.

One of the best art museums Ive ever been to. Five stars.

#ArtinPoncePuertoRico This museum is so rich in art history on the island and in all art Ponce, it was modern clean and well run. The art was amazing, I even saw a marble sculpture older than 100 A.D. fantastic to see something like that. A definite must see if you are ever in Puerto Rico.

Pretty good... I only wished they had more guided tours or headset with a more in depth explanation and stories. The price is more than adecuate and the interior is in great shape!

One of the best experience related to art. You can see some of the best Puerto Rican art with a tuch of peace and quite. They have special section every now and then you need to pay for that part of the museum extra. In my opinion its worth the money because they have usually intresting activities related to that art section.

Had a good time here. Definitely worth it. Plenty of art and paintings to keep you interested for hours.

It has good cuality art place, its has alot of security is easy to find and there are alot of activities isnt as big as an moma but is a exelent place for visit like tourism or in family... it has nice things in the shop... enjoy... this was moust an tour of local mundillo art... compare with old ones very interesting...

Excellent collection, very well-maintained and attentive and knowledgeable employees.

Closed because of the earthquakes 2-2020

We arrived an hour before closing, but as it was going to be our obl chance to see the collection we bought tickets to see the permanent collection only. I guess you can buy a more expensive ticket to see visiting exhibits. We spent the majority of the hour viewing only one small section of the collection. With 10 minutes left we went upstairs to be informed there was another ENTIRE floor of art work. Most of the second floor was older religious related works. Which were amazing, as I raced around and saw them... When we return to PR we will set an entire day to visit.

I would like to see more arts of the Caribbean painters in a museum like this one. There is a lot of paintings and sculptures from Europe. The place is well organized, youll find a little garden area through you tour. There is a cute food store as well, to grab a bite after your visit. I recommend to take a look in the museum store, it is a retailers of only locally made products!

A MUST SEE IF YOU ARE VISITING THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO! Extremely surprised with the quality & quantity of art from the last 400+ years!

This museum is up to the standards of any museum in Europe. Trust me, I’ve been to many of them! It was a delightful surprise to see works of arts from Rubens, Dorè, Jose Campeche, Francisco Oller, Hiram Power, Van Dyck and the masterpiece Flaming June!! It’s a wonderful museum and it’s a must visit if you’re in Puerto Rico and of course if you enjoy art/history.

Loved the museum! We took a guided tour (offered in both English and Spanish). The staff is welcoming, informative and gracious. Excellent collection of European & Caribbean works of art; over 1000 on display! Lovely and reasonably priced gift shop. Cant wait to go back!

I was floored at the art exhibit from a collection of Puerto Rican Artists. Beautiful and very popular art from England, France, and Spain.

One of the few art museums in Puerto Rico, it has a permanent collection of Puerto Rican paintings from 19 and 20th century artist such as Campeche, Oller and Frade and also a large collection of European Renaissance art. Very nice architecture with small garden and outside open spaces but beware of the hot sun.

Amazing museum and highly highly recommended. From Velasquez to Durrer to El Grecco and number of others. The art is great, the building is as good as any other major art museum I have seen. I am blown away...

Great collection of art, including a couple of works by impressionist Francisco Oller. A must see for any art connoisier. Admission is cheap and students as well as seniors over 55 get in for half price...beautiful works of art...

I loved my last visit to the MAP, as a group we saw one exhibition and then participated on a workshop. It was a guided tour about Zilia Sanchezs work...exquisite!!

Just amazing!! A place you should definitely visit if you like art and history.

The museum itself is a piece of art. Beautiful pieces all around the building. There are all kind of pieces, from small to big and from dark to bright. A must go if you love art. Loved my experience from start to finish and definetly I consider it one of my favorite museums in Puerto Rico. Will visit again soon.

Lots of classics and always a fresh exhibit. The best part is that it isnt too big a place that you cant see it all in a few hours. Oh, and bring a sweater. Its very cool in there.

Love the art. The paintings are truly work of art. Love the history.

WOW.. although a bit small compared to other major cities, this place has a great collection. The museum is a must see if you are in the area

I though it would be more of a modern art museum, there are a few pics but most of the collection is older paintings from Europe and the US.Nice museum overall.

Fantastic collection of art with a beautiful courtyard.

Wonderful ......Flaming June is a must see!

Great arts, well maintained but I dont give 5 stars only because the first floor mens bathroom privacy walls have a lot of separation and it feels like you are part of the naked arts.

The Museum was an excellent experience. The staf are very nice very helpful, the tour was very enlightening. The museum is small in comparison to other museums like the MET in New York or the Louvre in Paris or the Prado in Spain but it has some excellent exhibits and I think its worth the visit

It is a very pleasant place to visit. There is a huge and impressive art collection. The place is well kept. I enjoyed my visit. There is only one thing that I dont understand. I am a retired veteran of war. When I asked if they had a military discount, they answered me that it was only available for active personnel. I find this unbelievable. It is not about the discount, it is about the fact of equal recognition.

Would be five stars if not for the shameless self promotion by the former owner. Could he have praised himself any more? Que declasse! The museum holdings are world class. Skip the gift shop. But, stop for a coffee at the little concession. And, dont miss the gardens!

The museum is beautiful and the art is world class with a dash of Puerto Rican! So many things to learn here, but I have to say that the tour process is a little muddy. The website says tours in English and Spanish are offered at 11:00 and 2:00, however, good luck getting a tour in English. First time we went, they told us there was no English speaking Docent that day. So last week I sent an email AND a message on Facebook requesting a tour in English at 11:00 on Wednesday... no reply. So we showed up at 10:30 and were told that the tour just began in Spanish. The process seems to be this: Show up at some time prior to 11:00 and if you express interest in a tour, you get to choose the language and the start time. After a lot of phone calls and attempts to put us off, we were finally given the tour in English, and it was awesome! Im sure you could take the tour 50 times and learn something new and wonderful each time. While I understand that Puerto Rico is on island time and I fully embrace that... being a tourist attraction, they could be a little more understanding of their audience and try to be clear and precise in their posting of tour times. Fabulous Museum, so-so customer service.

Beautiful museum. Upscale place with lots of religious art and old spanish paintings. Beautiful staircase and a small coffee shop that serves food.

Great building and gardens and an impressive collection of paintings from Puerto Rico, Europe and the US. Would have liked to see a bit more modern art.

World class museum. A most see on the south part of the island.

Great, modern museum out of the way in Ponce. However, I dont understand the super strict nature of silly rules like, please stay on the right side of the stairs. Its meant to protect the place but your staff comes off as trying to create an air of self importance. That aside, its a great place to come and see some beautiful artwork in Puerto Rico. Much of it purchased from local churches during the 50s and 60s.

It is a place very beautiful and full of amazing paintings, but it lacks the pizzazz I look for in art museums.

One of the most beautiful museums of art Ive been to in Puerto Rico.

Very cool museum. I very much enjoyed the outdoor gardens.

I was very happy with the collection they have here! The facility is modern. I really enjoyed my visit. Recommended if you are in the area, see some art. Enjoy the great AC!

Puerto Ricos top art museum. Such a great collection of art. Not only from Puertorrican artists but a large representation of Europe as well. Considering the contents this place exhibits, the admission price is cheap. This is a must visit for all born here and for our esteemed visitors.

This museum is great. Always nice to appreciate the art.

Awesome place! A must see!

Its a beautiful artistic experience. Great place for a date. -ma date

Perfect for a rainy day outing!! Great works of art and cool layout, especially the upstairs. Love all the different gardens. Highly recommend going soon during the Isabel exhibit. Amazing history told through the art and there are dresses and other clothing to dress up in and take pictures with the art in the exhibit! Super cool and fun

This place was so beautiful & well lit!

Amazing museum with paintings by some of the best Spanish painters (Goya, Greco, etc).

Great museum, impressive collection, beautiful setting

Just Wow big collections for small city

Beautiful interior. Two lovely outdoor gardens. I enjoyed the smaller of the two. The art is beautifully displayed in well lit rooms. Descriptions are in Spanish and English. The are daily tours. Well worth it. The tours are conducted in English and Spanish. At separate times. Call beforehand to learn their schedule. The is parking. Photos with smartphones are permitted. Without flash. There is a cozy little coffee bar. Beverages, sandwiches, cupcakes are among several delectable items. There is an admission fee. Seniors and children are discounted. Go. You’ll be glad you visited one of Puerto Rico’s jewel museums.

Magnificent art pieces are displayed in a beautiful and elegant setting. Wr took a tour and the guide provided meaningful information about the musems pieces. The museum is a gemstone of elegance, talent and beauty. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful place. Lots of art to see. The service was great and we were able to enjoy tons of years of history. Definetely recommend!

Good art selection, world class museum, a must see if you visit PR

If you like art and like to know where it came from or you are just an art finatic this is the place, the atmosphere is very calm and profesional

Its a safe, peaceful, and entertaining place. Definitely worth the visit, and its one of the best spots in Ponce.

Clean, organized. They have Flaming June! ️

Nice collection of 18th Century European art, mixed with some contemporary art. Entrance is cheap too.

They have a large collection of highly valued historic paintings, as well as sculptures and other forms of art. The museum also has a coffee shop where you can find delicious coffee (truly!), home-made muffins, a selection of sandwiches, croissants, hummus toasts, among other tasty things to eat. You can also find a store where you can find many interesting gifts or souvenirs and a restaurant. Overall it is a great experience to just either have coffee with a good book and/or enjoy the majestic collections.

Decent sized collection of art. The masks exhibit waa my favorite. Some of the art can be easily photographed other pieces will earn you a talking too by security. Photographed everything to post on social media. Was fun exercising my freedom of speech rights.

Exhibit was okay, dont speak English but very demanding staff. Dont go up the wrong side of stairs

This is a wonderful museum of mostly Puerto Rican and European art. Definitely worth the trip from San Juan to see it. Employees are among the most friendly and helpful Ive ever experienced in a museum (and Ive been to a quite a few of them ).

Great art to include a Goya, but the curators treat you like youre going to steal

This place was hella cool. Gucci vibes.

Its impossible to see everything in one visit. Im coming back! It has an exquisite variety of paintings and sculptures, including several collections of local classic and contemporary artists. Its a must see for the people coming to Puerto Rico.

I was amazed that it holds a great deal of Renaissance art.

A must visit if you are in Ponce. Beautiful art masterpieces with very well knowledge guides.

This museum gets excellent special exhibits in return for lending out the Flaming June. I had the pleasure of seeing the Fricke special exhibit. Definitely worth a visit to Ponce while on the island. Also, the coffee shop makes delicious lattes.

A bit chilly, but nice experiance. Nice structure.

Nice permanent and visiting collections make this a great destination for art lovers. My 8 yr old and I enjoyed wandering and discussing the art styles thru the ages. The Granada garden is a nice outdoors space. We spent ~2hrs.

Super interesting, great history, great art.

Amazing Masters collection and layout.

The museum is well laid out. It is small, but it has different sections. It has a nice ambience, well lit and cool ac. There isnt much diversity in terms of painting style, periods or themes.

Its no smithsonian, but it was very high quality, beautiful art. I had wished that some of the pieces had a little more back story to them, but the ones that did were very informative an interesting. All of the signs are in English and Spanish. The price is very reasonable, and if you are a student there is a discount. I would say that this is a must-see site in Ponce.

Wonderful collection of Victorian art, masterful pieces of Puerto Rican artists, beautiful gardens, convenient parking. Came with mom and a 6-year old and we had a great time learning about our heritage and legacy!

AwesomeEnjoyed walking through the museum at my own pace.

Amazing experience. Great collection

Lovely place and educational. Beautiful art

The Art painting are spectacular, fascinatingAnd the story aboutFirst Puerto RicoFlag nice.

It may be the biggest art museum in the Caribbean, but ... I didnt find it all that impressive. The building is beautiful. We found one of the temporary exhibits significantly more interesting than the permanent collection.

Larger collection than expected. Incredible religious art on second floor spanning almost a millennium.

An excellent museum showcasing artwork of Puerto Rican artists. Not to be missed!

A small place compare to ones in USA, but it have a nice collection that you can enjoy and learn from it. If you are lucky you can have a tour and is easier to see it all, ask question and later alone enjoy it better with the information. It has wounderfull areas to enjoy nature and relax. I recomend the visit.

Full of beautiful history

I am completely in love with this museum. It is truly a treasure. The staff is excellent, very prepared and lovely. You must visit this museum. And say hello to Flaming June!

Very organize to take students. Friendly and knowledge staff. Nice place to visit.

Great collections and expositions! Lights are set according to each artworks designated perspective. Very kind at the reception and they give student discounts! They have a lot of wonderful surprises.

Great collection of art. Great atmosphere. One of my favorite places in Puerto Rico

Stepping across the MAP (Ponce Art Museum), conveys a clear string of thoughts toward a better living experience. Time pass real fast! Thanks MAP for a fine intellectual experience.

Very beautiful

Very friendly staff and amazing collection. Even kids have a good time. If you really want to enjoy this museum, you will need at least three to four hours to see everything at a good pace. The museum has a coffee shop, restaurant and a gift shop.

Its a favorite, I do voluntary work there.

Beautiful building and art work

I love to look at art cause sometimes the paintings are telling you something
