Description:
This museum showcases the development of Puerto Rican music, with displays of Indian, Spanish, and African musical instruments that were played in the romantic danza, the favorite music of 19th-century Puerto Rican society, as well as the more African-inspired bomba and plena styles. Also on view are memorabilia of composers and performers. It is housed in one of the city's most beautiful private residences designed by Alfredo Wiechers and dating from the turn of the 20th century.
