Museo de Las Americas serves as an art museum dedicated to the Native American tribes from all over the Americas. Observe exhibits detailing the different peoples from around the Americas and where they originated from and lived. A highlight is the bronze castings and statues that display prominent figures from specific tribes. Another room's exhibits display folk art of the indigenous people with several examples. A separate display room focuses on Puerto Rico (instead of the Americas as a whole) and gives a great walkthrough of the indigenous people's history.

The interior courtyard is gorgeous, unfortunately the museum was closed the day we visited. We were still able to sit and enjoy coffee in the courtyard.

Alonso was THE BEST tour guide! I'm so glad that I had a chance to take a tour with him in Antonio Martorell's exhibit! Great museum!
