The Museo de Arte de Aguadilla occupies the handsome 1925 District Courthouse, a neoclassical building that has aged well and now serves a more pleasant function than its original one. The museum focuses on Puerto Rican art, with rotating exhibitions drawn from local and island-wide artists. The permanent collection includes paintings, sculpture, and craft work that gives a reasonable cross-section of contemporary Puerto Rican visual culture.
The building itself is as interesting as what is inside it. The courtroom proportions — high ceilings, large windows, thick walls — create good natural light for displaying art, and the transition from legal architecture to gallery space has been handled with restraint. Admission is free or low-cost. It is worth checking the museum's schedule for opening hours, which can vary.
