MUSAN Mission
MUSAN Arts Center Santurce is dedicated to the preservation, research and exhibition of Puerto Rican art and intangible cultural heritage through our permanent collection, educational programs, outreach projects, special exhibitions and cultural activities.

More than a traditional museum, MUSAN Arts Center Santurce is a community-based cultural center that celebrates Puerto Rico's rich artistic patrimony as an inspiration for contemporary artistic expression and its relevance to modern society.
Phase I Completed!
Structural renovation is finished! Come and see our progress on Giving Tuesday on November 30, 2021 at our new location at 1673 Ave. Ponce de Leon in the Santurce Arts District. This will be our 'soft opening' and local artists' marketplace until our Grand Opening in the spring of 2022.
