Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña, Music museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña displays collections of Taíno, Spanish, and African musical instruments within a restored pastel-colored villa in downtown Ponce.
The museum opened in 1991 and relocated to its current location in 1996, occupying the former residence of the Serrallés family, known for their rum production.
The exhibition spaces present the evolution of Puerto Rican music through instruments, memorabilia, and artifacts from local composers and performers across different genres.
Located at the intersection of Isabel and Salud streets, the museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
The Senate of Puerto Rico renamed the institution in 2012 to honor singer Ruth Fernández, recognizing her contributions to the national musical heritage.
