Mostly lithographs of Picasso's works, there were numerous groups of his works from various periods of his life, including the "Blue Period" in Barcelona and Paris in his younger says, as well as his "Genevieve" period where he paid homage to his "companion" in his work. Truly a delightful exhibit! On the other side of the museum was a San Juan historical exhibit with many articles of silver and religious works of the early years of San Juan ... the museum is worth the time, nice walk there too!

It's a nice place to visit with the family that won't set you back. Entrance is $7 for adults and $3 for kids. Children under under 2 don't pay. Our son liked seeing the turtles, birds, and iguanas. We enjoyed a hike around the grounds. It's an easy hike, apt for all ages. There's plenty to see, from flora to sculptures. There is an indigenous ceremonial plaza, a small museum with indigenous artifacts, and of course there are some remnants of the old sugar mill. The Casa Jíbara is pretty cool. You can take a guided tour for an extra $3 or roam around on your own. If you get hungry there is a shack that serves food and refreshments. They told me that every 3rd Wednesday of each month are Noches de Galería on the evening: arts and crafts, music, and food.
