MUSAN - Museo De Los Santos y Arte Nacional

MUSAN is more than a traditional museum! Museo de los Santos features the traditional folk art of hand-carved saints (santos) that have evolved over 300 years from religious figures to a symbol of Puerto Rican culture & nationalism. Guided tours available. The Ellie Pruess Collection of mid-century masters ofPuerto Rican Art - was collected by a tourist in the 1950's during her trips to Puerto Rico. Our main gallery features emerging local artists and our artisan gallery features carvers who continue the santos tradition with a contemporary interpretation. We're located in the Santurce Arts District of San Juan and easy to reach by public transportation from Cruise Ship Piers and major Hotels - or a short taxi or UBER ride. MUSAN is a member of NARM (North American Reciprocal Museum Association). Schedule hours are every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-5pm but we are open by appointment during the week - see musan.org for contact info.
