Francisco Javier Díaz (

This year, the museum is celebrating its 20th anniversary, so this is also a recognition of the trajectory it has taken to care for and maintain Puerto Rican cultural artistic heritage.
Last October, the Ford Foundation gave an important recognition to the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico (MAPR) for being included among the 20 institutions that appear among the “Cultural Treasures of the United States.” This is a national and regional initiative to recognize and honor the diversity of artistic expression and excellence in the United States, in addition to providing critical funding to organizations that have had a significant impact on the cultural landscape of the United States despite resources historically limited of these institutions.
