Museum Remigio Crespo Toral, Art museum in historic center of Cuenca, Ecuador.

Museum Remigio Crespo Toral is an art museum in Cuenca's historic center that occupies a brick building with two distinct facades. One side faces the street while the other overlooks riverside gardens, creating multiple perspectives of the building's design.

The building was constructed between 1910 and 1917 as the residence of Ecuadorian poet Remigio Crespo Toral. In 1967 it transitioned to a municipal museum, converting a private home into a public space for art and artifacts.

The museum holds about 28,000 pieces as of April 2020, including archaeological objects gathered across Azuay province and portraits from the 19th and 20th centuries. Its four floors also display landscapes and poems by the Cuenca painter and poet Honorato Vásquez, relics from the travels of Elia Liut, the first pilot to land in the city, and old photographs, among them one of the historic centre when it covered about 15 blocks in the 1940s.

The museum stands at the corner of Calle Larga and Presidente Borrero, on the edge of Cuenca's historic center. Its four floors are visited on foot, so allow time to climb between levels. The riverside gardens along the Tomebamba lie just below Calle Larga, making the house easy to pair with a walk along the river.

The structure combines traditional local building methods like adobe and bahareque with European decorative details such as pressed metal ceilings. This outside influence alongside imported wallpaper from the same era reveals how Cuenca integrated global materials and styles into its local architecture.
