Museo de la Masacre de Ponce
Museo de la Masacre de Ponce, Civil rights museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The Museo de la Masacre de Ponce occupies a restored Art Nouveau building designed by architect Blas C. Silva Boucher in downtown Ponce.
The museum stands at the exact location where police forces opened fire on peaceful demonstrators during Palm Sunday in March 1937, resulting in multiple casualties.
Exhibits display photographs, documents, and testimonies from survivors that reflect the Puerto Rican independence movement and societal changes of the 1930s.
The museum contains multilingual information panels, guided tour services, and educational programs focusing on human rights and civil liberties throughout the week.
The building received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for preserving both the architectural elements and the memory of this significant event.
