    Beautiful facilities, very well preserved. The museum is small, with a limited number of works, but apart from the honored paintings by Peña Defilló, temporary exhibitions are shown. Admission is free and the museum is centrally located in the colonial area.

    Each wonderful colonial restored with great taste and without losing its period essence. The art samples are unmissable. If you are in the Colonial zone, you cannot miss visiting it.

    I really liked the artistic experience of this museum. The paintings are interesting and the staff is very attentive. It has a reading room where you can enjoy the books that they put at your disposal, and a living room on the second floor, which is also very nice.

    A museum in the colonial area that, like others in that area, was an old mansion so in addition to admiring the exhibition itself you can also appreciate the beauty of the building. Well decorated, it has a lobby overlooking an interior garden in which the harmony of the construction with that of the vegetation stands out, it has 4 exhibition rooms of which 2 have windows to the street (they can be noisy) and the other 2 They are interior. The museum is on a very quiet street so it is easier to get parking. It is also a very guarded area so you can walk and enjoy the ride.

    (Translated by Google) This is what any hobbyist or artist can enjoy: A space designed to delight in the hard and sincere work of a fellow artist, who exhibits his works and also shares with us all part of his personal library where you can see books of valuable art, collections of different painters, etc. It was wonderful for me to see his story set in those pictures. As for the artist, I think he has a special sensitivity like all those who can be called that. His style is simply unique and that is why I think he has come to transcend time as one of the best Dominican painters of all time. It is my humble opinion. (Original) Esto es lo que cualquier aficinado o artista puede disfrutar: Un espacio diseñado para deleitarse en el trabajo arduo y sincero de un compañero artista, quien expone sus obras y además nos comparte a todos parte de su biblioteca personal en la cual se pueden ver libros de arte de mucho valor, colecciones de diferentes pintores, etc. Para mí fue maravilloso ver su historia plazmada en esos cuadros. En cuanto al artista pienso que tiene una sensibilidad especial como todos los que pueden ser llamados así. Su estilo es simplemente único y por eso pienso que ha llegado a transcender en el tiempo como uno de los mejores pintores dominicanos de todos los tiempos. Es mi humilde opinión.

    A Museum with a small but very cozy gallery, well decorated and cared for. Constant exhibitions by various artists and the permanent exhibition of works by Fernando Peña Defilló, we had a great time.

    Museum that covers the work of master Fernando Peña Defilló; It is adorned with various works by the same artist and from time to time works by other artists are exhibited. It has a spacious library, with books ranging from art to history. It is extremely beautiful.
