Museo de las Américas

Preserving the identity of the indigenous cultures of the Americas and, in particular, those that populated the island of Puerto Rico before the Spanish invasion, the Museo de las Americas is a small but powerful museum that not only serves to enlighten, but also to entertain. While wandering the halls here, you’ll find that some exhibits tell the history of the Native Americans, while others display folk art from contemporary artists of the island. Most of these exhibits are available for sale, while other pieces of art serve only for appraisal and admiration.

The Museo do las Americas is located in Historic Old Town San Juan on the second floor of the building on Norzagaray Street . Entrance is $3. The museum closes for lunch from 12-1.
