Small but pretty museum that's always changing its art. It always funky and new stuff from Latino and Afro Caribbean artists. It's always representing the urban part of the city.

The museum offers a mix of rotating exhibits, ranging from the spicy and fun, to the political and motivating. You'll leave either wanting to dance the salsa or change the world.

Free admission 3rd Saturdays have allowed El Museo to attract the masses. Art combines carib, latin, and American styles with soulful interpretations. Def not the Whitney. Enjoy the cafe and theaters.
