Museo del Hombre Hondureño, Art museum in the Historic District, Honduras

The Museo del Hombre Hondureño is an art museum in the Historic District of Tegucigalpa, housed in the 1876 house of Ramón Rosa. Its three exhibition halls display Honduran sculpture, ceramics and oil paintings, and it also contains the Reina Sofía art library. The interior had mahogany and cedar shelving and furniture before the 2017 fire.

The house was built in 1876 for Ramón Rosa, extraordinary minister in the government of Marco Aurelio Soto and a writer. Known as "La casa de los amigos del país", it hosted gatherings on politics, literature and science. It is listed in Honduras's historic cultural heritage and became the museum's home on 11 July 1989.

The museum displays national artistic works that reflect the country's creative heritage. You can see how Honduran artists have expressed themselves through different periods by viewing the sculptures and ceramics on display.

The museum occupies Ramón Rosa's 1876 house in the Historic District, registered in Honduras's historical heritage. In February 2020 restoration drawings were submitted to the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History, but the foundation still lacked funds to begin the work, so check current access before travelling.

A fire in 2017 damaged the building and destroyed thousands of books and historical documents stored here. Restoration work has continued since, making the recovery itself part of the site's story.
