Museo de Arte Moderno
Of the museums in the Plaza de
la Cultura, the first stop should be the Museo de Arte Moderno (Tues–Sun
10am–6pm; RD$20; 685 2154), four storeys dedicated to modernist and post-modern
Dominican art, with a magnificent permanent collection on the second and third
floors, temporary exhibits on the first and fourth and installation art in the
basement. At times the assemblage can seem a bit random, exacerbated by
the frequent rotation of pieces within the museum space, but certain themes,
like a reliance on Taino influences, can be spotted. Notable in this regard is
Clara Ledesma’s Casetas, in the first floor’s first room, in which
Taino-rendered campesinos peek out of a colmado and several mud huts at two
gringo tourists lying on the beach.
