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.
Arts Center Vision
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.
Permanent Collections at MUSAN Arts Center Santurce
Santos became part of almost every rural family, The Household Saints of Puerto Rico.
After enjoying the paintings at her homes in the states, she returned the artwork to Puerto Rico to become part of the permanent collection of MUSAN.
By conducting oral history interviews with family, friends and associates of artists who have contributed to Puerto Rico's rich cultural patrimony.
MUSAN's oral history project is an ongoing program to obtain first-hand narratives that bring culture, tradition and history to life.
