The majority of art is Dominican, if not all of it? And includes various mediums from paintings, photography, sculptures, etc. It’s a good stop for art lovers. The museum is currently not handicapped friendly since the elevators are not functional and there are 4 floors of exhibits. It was very humid inside and it helps to go on the patios occasionally for fresh air. Otherwise, the exhibits are well worth the small entrance fee and inconveniences. The property is noticeably under maintained and showing its age. However, it is clean! This was a stately building at one time but many lights over the paintings were burned out and ceiling tiles are missing...maybe that’s an art form in itself!

I enjoyed a lot of the exhibits including one titled Ozama. It was very profound and that such great art exists is a testament to the city. It is very cheap to get in and it is located by the Metro and lots of restaraunts on Av Gomez. You could make a day with the other museums on the property. A definite must see in Santo Domingo.

Apart from a class of DR kids I was the only one wondering round this museum. It not expensive and has lovely Dominican modern art. Definitely worth a trip for art fans. The staff were really helpful when there was a specific piece I wanted to find.

The museum is undergoing renovations and is still closed as of March 2020. The official tourist map does not state this. The Museo del Hombre Dominican is also being renovated. However they look like they will be nice once finished!

This huge building build in the architectional style of brutalism has many interesting rooms and spaces to offer but it hasn't been maintained for a long time since it's been build. Staff at the ticket office was nice. Only Spanish speaking. The ticket was only 100 pesos for two persons. This museum offers non speaking staff generally and information folders are only in Spanish as well. The styles of art varies from modern to classical art, representing some highlights of Dominican history from the colonial times to the present with portraits and scenes from Santo Domingo. There is no air condition in this building so when you reach the top floor where all the heat gathers, it is really humid inside. The current exhibition was interesting but not intriguing but it's representation. I would recommend installing aircondition, translating the information folder to English, fixing some of the lights, repainting some of the walls to give international visitors a better visual experience and better ratings for this museum.

"No one goes there," was the comment from our bnb hostess and she was right. The museum had few visitors (apart from an hilarious group of school children snapping photos of nudes!) and we were the only tourists. What an incredible waste! There are four floors of art -- some regular installations from the permanent collection focusing on Dominican artists. Judging by the visiting exhibits and the stuff that has been there over the past year, the new director is doing a bang up job. The museum is definitely worth the trip and it will also give you a better view of life in the Capital for Dominicans. The area around the museum is, as you would expect, pretty chi chi and full of the beautiful people. But to get there from the Colonial Zone you go through some seriously sketchy areas and are reminded that life in the developing world is a whole 'nother matter.

When I was there (Jan 2013) the bottom floors were taken with an architectural exhibit that must be great for architects but said NOTHING to me. And I like architecture. But it was quite technical, with drawings more than photos.
HOWEVER, the top floor contained a permanent exhibition of the prize winners of the biennial art contest of the Dominican Republic. We're talking absolutely world class paintaings, drawings, sculptures, etc. I LOVED it.
THe museum is house in a large, very modern and bright building which has some archtiectural interest itself. Do not miss it!

The museum seems to lack a website, but several other sites indicated opening hours. I went there and found a construction site. A worker told me it was closed for now (Nov. 16, 2019). Our reception confirmed. No opening date known.
A disgrace not to properly inform the public!

This is one of the few art museums in the city and it was really hard to find. Nonetheless, the museum was excellent and had a lot of interesting exhibits that are well worth checking out. In addition, the museum is outdated and has a feeling of stepping back in time since it's so old and not well maintained. (Which was kind of cool)

Is this open to visitors and how does one access the building?
The Museum of Dominican Man located nearby is closed for renovations, but there is no indication of that until one is on site.
