The Modern Art Museum is one of the key institutions in Santo Domingo's Plaza de la Cultura, with galleries devoted to Dominican and Caribbean modern and contemporary art. It offers a different rhythm from the Colonial Zone, where most visitors spend their museum time.
The museum is worth adding if you want to understand the country's 20th- and 21st-century visual culture rather than only its colonial past. Its location near other major museums makes it easy to build a half-day cultural circuit.
