Museo de las Américas
Museo de las Américas occupies former barracks and explores cultures of the Americas. The setting within the historic Cuartel de Ballajá adds another layer to the museum’s cultural exhibitions.
Why go
Its exhibitions add social and artistic history to a fort focused Old San Juan walk. The building itself is part of the visit. Inside, a traveler can shift from architecture outside to the varied histories and artistic traditions interpreted in the galleries. The former military setting makes that change especially tangible and gives this museum a different purpose from a fort or an art-only collection.
What to look for
