    My favorite among several places, it's a great place to get a coffee while reading surrounded of local culture. Also there is a constant exposition of paints and books for sale.

    I thought this was a cool gallery, though none of the artwork was anything I could buy. It seemed amateurish - something I would expect a high school or young college student to produce. Definitely not thought-provoking in any way. There's a restaurant/café inside with a nice courtyard where you can rest and enjoy a beer or coffee and some food. It's free admission so it's a nice place to visit and take a break from the sun and heat. There's also a cool little gift shop.

    Really cool cultural house slash art exhibit. There is a nice cafe inside and the art was nice in each section. Pinto was an important figure In Bolivian history and this was actually one of his homes. Pretty neat. If you are in the vicinity of Plaza 24 de Septiembre definitely swing by.

    An open house to the past and present of Santa Cruz elite. As you visit the cultural center exhibiting the city's contemporary arts production, you'll roam through what used to be the home of a distinguished MD born in the XIXth Century. He leaded autonomy movement for Santa Cruz region. Luckly, you will be welcome to join if you are visiting during a book presentation.

    Went here today with Carlos and an old friend of his. I told them I'd leave them to catch up and come back. Forty minutes later, I came back. They had been given menus, but no one came back to take their order, so we left without buying anything. We spoke to staff on the way out, and they didn't even apologise. What makes it worse is that Carlos is related to Melchor.

    (Translated by Google) The first time I go and I enjoyed it because it is half a block from the main square of Santa Cruz, has a space for coffee in the company of friends and not to mention the works of art on display in it and this house originally was created for this purpose. This time I had the pleasure of meeting this center through clax's group gave a concert for lovers of tango and it was worth it because they did great. (Original) La primera vez que voy y me gustó mucho pues está a media cuadra de la plaza principal de Santa Cruz, cuenta con un espacio para compartir un café en compañía de los amigos y ni que decir de las obras de arte que se exponen en él ya que originalmente esta casa fue creada para este fin.
