About MUSAN
MUSAN began as a joint effort of Richard Holm and Dr. José Torres Meléndez to create www.museodelossantos.com and introduce traditional 'santos de palo' carvings in a 'virtual museum'.
Encouraged by overwhelming support and a need for additional space, Museo de los Santos Inc. was established as a non-profit corporation and granted IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt in 2108 and designated a PR 1101.01 non-profit corporation by Hacienda de Puerto Rico in 2019.
In 2020, MUSAN was created in order to expand our collections and include a community-based cultural center that encourages emerging artists and celebrates the artists and artisans of our past.

Grand Opening!
Everything depends on our fund-raising efforts - but we hope to complete structural repairs, connect utilities, install windows/doors and provide basic gallery spaces for a 'Phase I' opening in July and a formal opening by the end of 2021.
