Museo de Arte de Ponce
   Museo de Arte de Ponce is an art museum located on Las Americas ave. The thought of this museum began in 1956 when Luis A. Ferre traveled to Europe and brought various European art pieces. That encouraged him to start a project for a museum in the city of Ponce. On January 3, 1959, Luis opened the museum in a small wooden house originally with 72 paintings. For a fear of a fire happening in the small wooden museum, Luis brought a tract of land on Las Americas ave to build the current museum. It was finished building in 1965 and officially opened on December 8, 1965. This museum holds almost 4,000 pieces of art that range from the 14th to the 20th century, containing Italian,
British, Spanish, and contemporary Latin-American Art. 
The Last Sleep of Arthur in Avalon made by Edward 
Brune-Jones is one of the main pieces of art in 
that museums collection.
