Two galleries opposite each other on the same street. Old masters from around the world one side, contemporary modern art from Central/South America on the other. I'm not usually an art fan but really enjoyed walking round these galleries. Closed Sundays and Mondays. More

I am increasingly impressed by the quality of Central American art. This is a wonderful open air gallery that showcases much of this quality. There are even Picassos on display. Our favourite attraction in Leon. Very worthwhile and easy to find just off Ruben Dario. More

A good size art museum spanning from colonial days to hyper modern installation art. Nice to see all Central American countries represented in a peaceful surrounding. Well worth the trip if you have an hour or so. More

Beautifully restored colonial building is worth the admission price alone. They display art from all over Central America. I wasn't too thrilled about the style but interesting nonetheless. More

The art is wonderful, I was shocked we found art of this caliber in this great rough around the edges city, the whole thing takes 30 minutes so it's not too tiring, the building is beautiful and there is excellent security- you can tell Leon takes a lot of pride in this great museum. More
