Ponce Museum of Art

One of the highlights of our trip was the visit to the world class Ponce Museum of Art. It was designed by Edward Durrell Stone, Museum of Modern Art, NY, and houses the most extensive art collection in the Caribbean.















The building, with seven interconnected hexagons, glass cupolas and a pair of curved staircases. It contains one of the most important pre-Raphaelite collections in the western hemisphere.

The museum houses more than 1,000 paintings and 400 sculptures, including the finest collection of European works in the Caribbean, such as works by Velasquez, Rubens and Rodin.















An extension to the gallery was added in 2010 to include a sculpture garden.........















.......and more Carribean pieces such as mosaics.





















Fabulous!
