    Cute little museum with native taino artifacts. It only costs $1 to enter, so it is definitely worth it. A must if your are visiting Jayuya.

    Great municipal museum that is still recovering from the 2020 earthquake. Check website for limited…read moretours. Can't wait for their reopening!

    This review is actually for the Museo de la Musicà just down the street…read more We visited 6/28/2018 1. Due to budget constraints from the recovery effort of Maria there are currently only 2 official tour guides in the town of Poncé to cover their four museums. This means that 2-3 of them are closed most of the days to save on operating costs. 2. If you want to visit any of the museums in Poncé it would be wise to call ahead and setup a time and day so you can be sure that their is a guide available to let you in, show you around and give you a good tour. Also, there isn't any A/c so be sure to wear cool clothing and bring a rag or fan to help you stay cool in the summer months. 3. The Music Museum in Poncé is terrific and, if you are fortunate enough to land Mr. Rodriguez as your guide, you will be truly edifies by the boys of knowledge he will share with you. 4. Be certain to stay to the end of the tour where you will get to see (IMO) the finest collection of PR Quatros assembled in one room by the foremost artist and PR craftsman Carmelo Martéll. 5. If you can, ask to see the courtyard. It is amazing and they would like to start utilizing it fore music events and play productions. -Don't walk through the ground brush though, it has tons of sticky burs. However, you may find a mango or passion fruit if yer lucky. We considered this the "gift shop".

He was one of the town's founders and served as its first mayor. His legacy is preserved. Museo Casa Canales: This museum is a replica of the original residence of Rosario Canales. Inside, visitors can explore exhibits detailing his life and the influential Canales family, who played a pivotal role in Puerto Rico's history, including the Nationalist uprising of 1950. A must see to appreciate the history and culture. Only posted few pics to have an idea, there is more to see.

Now, as a "tourist" I visited this house museum that narrates an important part of the Puerto Rican history, the city of Jayuya, and the life of an important Puerto Rican figure, Nemesio R. Canales. This house museum is not the original structure, however it intends to represent the original one. This house contains original and vintage items of furniture, papers, books, and other utensils from the original owners and house. It is well kept and persevered. The staff in charge of the museum was very welcoming and polite. They gave information about the house and narrated some historical events occurred in the house and around it. It was a great experience, plus the museum is surrounded by vegetation and a beutiful view of mountains. I am glad that I'm still able to enjoy Puerto Rico's beautiful places and history. If you life in Puerto Rico and has never visites Jayuya, you love history, or you are simply visiting this city... this museum is recommended!
