Museo de Arte Moderno — Attraction in Santo Domingo

Most high profile art exhibitions in the country are displayed here. There is no permanent collection, therefore your experience will vary depending on when you visit. They host many activities and guided tours-- I recommend following their socials for updates. They have discounts for students and teachers, but you must provide a valid student ID. I dont know if they accept international student IDs.

Other interesting building nearby is the national library. The Architecture of all buildings is from very classical modern style of mid 70ies or 80ies of the last century and it has the morbid charming of buildings with low maintenance. The area is good accessible by the local Metro with an own station. Good place for get relax in the busy and chaotic big city Santo Domingo. You...

The Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo, a beacon of culture in the Caribbean, is more than just a building; it's a portal to the soul of the Dominican Republic. As I wandered through its halls, I was captivated by the vibrant colors, intricate details, and thought-provoking narratives that adorned the walls.

Founded in 1976, this architectural marvel, designed by José Miniño, is a testament to modern design. Its sleek lines and minimalist aesthetic provide the perfect backdrop for the diverse collection housed within. The museum boasts a rich array of Dominican art, spanning over a century, from traditional to...
