They have all kinds of pieces from historical, still life, traditional daily life to abstract. We loved their pieces and the prices are reasonable. Be ready to haggle on prices, they were comfortable with the haggle. Overall our first time visiting this location and we liked our experience. You can get something super affordable as a keepsake as well as original works of art.

It feels like the studio home of an artist who works furiously around the clock to make and explore techniques while the tropical breeze winds in through every open window. It reminded me that art is for feeling and experiencing in a way that is deeper than standing back and staring at 1 piece at a time on a stark gallery wall.

There were a lot of souvenir stores around but I was looking for something authentic done by local artists. At first you wouldn't think that the Haitian Gallery would be a place to find Puerto Rico art but it is. It actually has a spectacular collection of different things that aren't just tacky souvenirs. When you first walk in, you'll see all your little souvenir knick knacks. They have key chains and magnets for those looking for something to bring back with them. As you walk further back, you'll see the painted art on the walls and the veijigantes (Puerto Rican masks) that artists have put together. You'll see a lot of these around, but the ones here are true works of art. They have beautiful detail and are sturdy meant to be included in an art collection. They are pricey but well worth it. They will be the center piece of your house. On the second floor, you'll find a lot of Haitian paintings by Haitian artists. Many of them modern but some were very traditional. I got the impression that a lot of people skipped this floor. Although I'm not an expert in art, I am confident that there are spectacular pieces here that could sell for a pretty penny but are overlooked. They will offer to send you your items if you buy something large or difficult to take back but they will also offer to pack something tight and break proof if you decide to hand carry. You can pay in cash or credit card. You can also talk to them about reducing your price if you bought something pricey or you bought a lot of things. Love this store and personally think it's the best place to get quality local goods.

The selections at Art Age Gallery are generally smaller in size but like Exodo real artisanal pieces, each unique, offered at what I would consider totally reasonable and affordable prices. Most of them are done by local artists and if you're lucky you may even have the opportunity to meet with the artists. What I really like about Age is that it has such a diversity of art. There is mix media, ceramics, paintings, jewelry and so much more. It's a real gem find of an art gallery.

My daughter fell in love with one of the interesting painted key boxes they had which makes a much better souvenir, than a Señor Frog t-shirt and well worth the extra cost. Definitely worth the stop and was glad to stumble upon Age.
