A plethora of art from around the world, and also Central America. It was divided into rooms and corridors following the original structure of the house. I enjoyed all the Central American pieces , that is what i went to see. This Gallery cannot be missed, and its only $3 entry.

We entered the gallery and were told that there was one room that side of the road but 5 on the other side. What they didn't say was that each room has several side rooms.

Located in two large mansions, this museum has a very rich collection of Latin American art. A special room is dedicated to the famous Cuban painter Wifredo Lam. Besides beautiful paintings and statues from many different Latin American countries, they also have some paintings of famous European artists like Chagall, Picasso, Utrillo. Both the venue and the works of art are worth seeing. Definitely the number 1 thing to see in Leon. …
