Me fui a pasear para darles tiempo y regresé más tarde cuando supone hubiese gente (a eso de las 1:30pm). Estaba un grupo recogiendo machinas y cosas de una feria que hubo durante el fin de semana anterior. Paseé por los predios a ver si veía a alguien y pues también mire y tomé fotos. Pero no encontré a nadie del personal. Es como si sabían que iba pero cuando llegué ya no había nadie? Me habían dicho por teléfono que el lugar estaba cerrado para renovaciones y que aún así me podían dar el tour y la información histórica desde el balcón. Mi rating por lo tanto refleja el lugar, no el personal ni el tour (que no obtuve). Desde chiquita pasaba por la #2 viendo el Palacete por la ventana del carro y siempre me daba curiosidad saber la historia del lugar. Al menos llegué a visitar el lugar en persona después de tantos años pasando y viéndolo de lejitos. A ver si en otra ocasión podré obtener el tour, mientras, quedo feliz leyendo la historia del lugar en Wiki o algo así. Cool.

Due to budget constraints from the recovery effort of Maria there are currently only 2 official tour guides in the town of Poncé to cover their four museums. This means that 2-3 of them are closed most of the days to save on operating costs. 2. If you want to visit any of the museums in Poncé it would be wise to call ahead and setup a time and day so you can be sure that their is a guide available to let you in, show you around and give you a good tour. Also, there isn't any A/c so be sure to wear cool clothing and bring a rag or fan to help you stay cool in the summer months. 3. The Music Museum in Poncé is terrific and, if you are fortunate enough to land Mr. Rodriguez as your guide, you will be truly edifies by the boys of knowledge he will share with you. 4. Be certain to stay to the end of the tour where you will get to see (IMO) the finest collection of PR Quatros assembled in one room by the foremost artist and PR craftsman Carmelo Martéll. 5. If you can, ask to see the courtyard. It is amazing and they would like to start utilizing it fore music events and play productions. -Don't walk through the ground brush though, it has tons of sticky burs. However, you may find a mango or passion fruit if yer lucky. We considered this the "gift shop".

I would absolutely visit this location due to it's small farm, cute aesthetic for photography and friendly service as well as delicious breakfast and cafe. Some of the animals are taken out and roam freely and it is the perfect relaxing vibe you would want from the location.

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!

The art installations are small and many are missing or under renovation. The museum is slightly confused on the direction they want to go, many explanation state fifth time they are trying to come up with a theme. Focus is on local Puerto Rican artist because the theme is very much against US colonization and against development. Interior: gorgeous facility with great air conditioning and employees are all very friendly, helpful, and nice. Theater: beautiful 400 seat and very beautiful!

During our waking tour, we got invited to come inside and met Brenda who worked at the museum. She was friendly and personable and taught us the history of the museum. It was amazing to see the history of this museum and the beautiful art that was created by the locals. Did you know that this museum use to be a lawyer's house? I truly recommend visiting this museum and taking lots of pictures. The best part??It's free! They also host lots of activities for the kids and adults alike like painting classes. One of the highlights of our day for sure.

For example, a specific white Hard Rock Cafe shirt features the Parque de Bombas design on the back. I was quite surprised to learn that it was built in 1882 as a pavilion for an exhibition and later became Puerto Rico's first-ever fire station. For once, it looks nothing like a traditional fire station, and it didn't look that aged, so i suspect the city of Ponce ensures it is well maintained. It is free, but there is a donation pot just after the entrance. So, it doesnt hurt to give a few dollars to such a fine exhibit of firefighting history. On a side note, I parallel-parked on the street for free, as did a few locals. It was around the corner from Jalapeno's restaurant on a one-way street.
