Luis Adolfo Noboa Naranjo Museum

Luis Adolfo Noboa Naranjo Museum, Contemporary art museum in downtown Guayaquil, Ecuador.

The Luis Adolfo Noboa Naranjo Museum occupies ten halls with 97 works, including three murals by Manuel Rendón and paintings by Oswaldo Guayasamín, Eduardo Kingman, Humberto Moré, Carlos Catasse, Ricardo Montesinos, Segundo Espinel, Luis Miranda and Oswaldo Viteri. It also displays the private office the businessman kept on the first floor of the Exportadora Bananera Noboa.

Luis Noboa Naranjo, a Guayaquil-born banana exporter, assembled the paintings over years of friendship with Ecuadorian artists. His heir Álvaro Noboa founded the museum on 25 January 2006, installing the collection in the former private office on the first floor of the Exportadora Bananera Noboa. In April 2008 the museum launched the Bienal de Pintura Luis A. Noboa Naranjo; the third edition, opened on 4 April 2012, drew 200 paintings from 20 countries and 14 Ecuadorian provinces.

The collection features work by artists who shaped Ecuador's art scene, including renowned names like Oswaldo Guayasamín and Eduardo Kingman. These pieces reflect how artists have portrayed the country and its people through different approaches.

The museum is easy to reach by following the central streets P. Icaza and Córdova, where the building sits at a prominent intersection. Visitors should check what exhibitions are currently on display, as the offerings change throughout the year.

On the first floor, the museum recreates the private office Luis Noboa Naranjo kept at the Exportadora Bananera Noboa, so visitors see the businessman's working room beside the paintings. The collection itself gathers 97 works by Ecuadorian painters he knew personally.
