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.
The following presentations will give you an idea of how MUSAN evolved and our vision for a new museum that pays homage to Puerto Rican patrimony of yesterday and encourages artists with a new vision for today and the future.

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 November and a formal opening in Spring 2022.
