Such a wonderful and amazing place to take your kids. This museum has art work from kids all around the cities. They come together to make beautiful art, with sculptures, paint, materials, and all sorts of art materials for them to love and share. My kids had an amazing time being apart of the program and enjoying the view, show and food there. Such a family oriented space, and amazing views. We Loved it!

OUT OF THIS WORLD CULTURAL EXPERIENCE ️

Beautiful, small theater decorated with whimsical murals. Saw an excellent production of Venus and Adonis by Opera Lafayette. A lot going on there that many New Yorkers are probably unaware of... a gem.

Great museum full of diaspora art. Worth seeing if you’re interested in Latin culture. The staff has a good vibe.

Honored to celebrated the 50th Anniversary of El BMuseo del Barrios founding by the New York City Department of Museums. Previewed traditional and contemporary visual art and sculptural installations and learned ancestral, political, social and cultural history of Latina/Hispanic people who migrated to New York from southeast U.S. territories and Caribbean islands. Their heritage richly contributes to the fabric of New York City.

Amazing place with a rich history. Their museum store has a really nice variety of neighborhood artisan goods.

Went during Museum Mile! They dont have that many installations but they do have some great, food, beverages and a live band that day.

Cultural, diverse, interesting, welcoming; even if youre not Hispanic its a museum to see, learn and experience things. Very nice place to visit.

Excellent art exhibitions. Nice café.

Wonderful Super Saturday. Everything third Saturday El Museo hosts activities for children & an afternoon concert. Great exposure to Latin American artists.

Twas very interesting despite its small size than again only one exhibit was open when I had gone

The El Museo Del Barrio is a nice tribute to Latin and Spanish culture. This was my first visit to the museum to see the East LA and South Bronx street photography exhibit.While the museum is small, its not overwhelming to walk through and really take everything in.

Wonderful Experience! Walking tour: Mapping Resistance :The Young Lords in El Barrio.

Excellent art exhibitions. Nice café.

Heavy focus on Puerto Rican art. Would love to see a little more diversity, but overall definitely really cool. Super thankful that theres a museum representing latino artists.

It was nice to see a museum dedicated to the Latino culture but it was unfortunate that it only had 1 exhibit. There is a lot of room to grow but I know it will one day be one of the top museums in the city.

Amazing place with a rich history. Their museum store has a really nice variety of neighborhood artisan goods.

I personally didn’t find this museum to be much attractive and full of artworks, but still I liked it.

It was nice but takes half an hour to see the whole museum

Cultural, diverse, interesting, welcoming; even if youre not Hispanic its a museum to see, learn and experience things. Very nice place to visit.

Amazing museum with pieces of indigenous cultures and contemporary works of art

Great place for performances.

Small museum, but filled with a lot of beautiful artwork. I was told by a staff member that the artwork changes often, so there is always something new to see. I really enjoyed it, I will return. :)

Wonderful Liliana Porter exhibition.

Excellent performance from Eddie Palmieri n his Latin Band..

Good photo op for tourists. Very easy to find, and right across from the park, so you can either relax or enjoy the short walk to the subway on the other side.

The reopening of El Teatro is beautifully renovated and restored

What a rude person whom we have just ordered tea from. Unbelievably unwelcoming. I recommend people do not come here to receive such disrespect.

Loved it! Has historical things to see that I really enjoyed.

Hosts to the uptown bounce as well.. that was my reason for going. But it a great place to hang out..plus central park across the street. Lots to do.

We had a nice time here on a Wednesday evening. Salsa dancing, dominos, arts and crafts all on a small scale, but definitely and enjoyable evening. The adult nightlife gets started at 6pm until 9pm the website says. I will be back for that.

Amazing exhibitions and I believe it is free admission. If you are a CUNY staff, admission is free and college students are free as well. Great Latinx galleries- representing the community is amazing and wonderful to see as a visitor!

Love going here. Museum part is small but take a look at their calendar for events. Events are so much fun. They also have a place to eat that is absolutely delicious.

Loved the little unassuming museum. Its a great way to learn about Latinx in New York in ways that you dont find in the other museums in the area.

Amazing place. The theatre is very intimate with amazing acoustics. Wonderful staff!

GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. A CALMING AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. SINCE I WAS BORN IN SPANISH HARLEM(A.K.A. EL BARRIO) I HAD AN IMMEDIATE EMOTIONAL REACTION UPON ENTERING THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. SPANISH HARLEM HAS A GREAT AND INSPIRING LEGACY OF GIVING BIRTH TO SOME OF THE GREATEST ARCHITECTS OF THE INTERNATIONALLY HERALDED MUSIC GENRE CALLED SALSA. AND YET,THERE IS MORE!!! EVEN IF YOU NEVER TRAVELED TO CUBA OR PUERTO RICO. YOU CAN EXPERIENCE GREAT AUTHENTIC ART,FOOD AND CULTURE OF THE DIASPORA RIGHT HERE IN EL BARRIO.THANKYOU.EDDIE G.HARLEM//U.S.A.

It was nice but only one small exhibition open, Museum of the City of New York next building offers much more.

Only took a lunch break here but am planning to return since museum is highly recommended. Lunch was very good-gave us sustenance to go through Central Park Conservatory Gardens.

Disappointed. Only two small exhibits.

Decent viewlines in the auditorium. Very nice staff. Came for Joanna Newsom, the lighting and sound were Ace. A little far from the 6 train, about ten min walk. Closer to the Fifth Ave. Buses. Do not try to park in the area, lots of traffic on Fifth and side streets are filled up. Cafe is clean.

Great discussion on El Barrio-past and present..Boricuas visit this museum you will be filled with pride!!

I loved walking about and reading about Latin American artists and their work. This is a very beautiful and well thought out museum.

The best part is one stop shop. One ticket for el museo del barrio and City museum of NY. Did not get a chance to see whole of first museum due to an event.

Despite its somewhat small scale to be called museum, exhibitions here are presented and managed very well. To me, the exhibitions evoked fundamental questions of diasporic communities which are not complete but continuing--regarding identity, cultural transformation and daily life. There is no doubt its a worth visit but allow me to note that the entrance fee is a bit over-priced (compared to other museums/galleries/institutions).

Great Experience. Theyve renovated the Theater and Museo.Under New Administration.My Wife and I went to see Eddie Palmieri Concert and was Real Nice.The Food Was Pretty Good. A bit Pricey For Small Portions.But Overall ExcellentRecommended!!

I really appreciate their work and mission, but I didnt like the exhibition that was going on when I visited it. Ill give it another shot. But if you are visiting NY a d have limited time, you can skip this museum.

The place was beautiful but the lady with the cane was unnecessarily rude. I went here to see my little sister perform with here class and she was just nasty to my mother. I dont know if she work here but, that wasnt right. The security was nice.

Beautiful art and latin love.

Very friendly environment. Good food. Pick what you want. Reasonable Price

Is a must I love it even small is definitely a meaningful place to go.

The concert was more than expected. Very impressed.

Very interesting. Community oriented.

Comfortable place to hang & work withots of natural light. Ideal if you need a place in the Mt. Siani area to wait & work on laptop while a friend or family member is at the medical complex.It started out as a very inexpensive spot with excellent food which must have been unsustainable because the food has gone down a notch & the prices have gone up a notch.The wait staff is stretched. They need to work a counter was well that is separate from the the table area. They dont have the bandwidth or light of sight to respond to table needing something - amounting to slow service.

Went to see the return of Mama I Want To Sing. Great show! My one complaint would be how cramp the seats were.

Was expecting a lot more art dedicated to the Spanish culture.

Love this place. Great shows and great museum

Relaxing place filled with cultural icons a d art of Puerto Rican and other Latin descent

Very interesting. About the long history of latino community in NY. Exceptional art too, a pleasure to spend a couple of hours there. Tickets shared with the Museum of the City of NY, a short distance away.

One cant help being moved by the powerful and meaningful messages embodied in the the current exhibition of roots resistance, and resilience.

Beautiful place! As a hispanic person I was very happy to see how my culture was represented and proud of the artists who took the time to try and explain the underpriveleged marginalized communities in the city. Great work!

Great museum with good community ties and programming.

Gallery is very small. Would be better if there was something interactive or perhaps some good photo-ops.

First time I visited with my family but we were a bit disappointed! There is not much to see.

Love all the programs they have

Newly renovated and murals look beautiful.

Just amazing! I wish it had more things to see. But I loved it!

2 VERY rich exhibits right now: assemblages by Lillian Porter & beautiful but heartbreaking photos from the 70s & 80s. Small enough to see both in their entirety. Building under renovation, but didnt affect the visit

Its a great small museum. Definitely not first tier but if you are in the area definitely worth a stop. Its one of the very few museums to display modern Latino artwork.

Beautiful place. Nothing more to say! Must see place! Speakers for its self!

Great museum, next to the New York City Museum. You can visit both in the same day and you only pay for one.

Excellent cultural institution.

Clean good acoustics but seating is cramped not enough leg room

Nice Latin museum with great staff and activities for children on Saturdays

Beautiful artwork, lovely building and very nice staff. A gem in this city.

Nice museum at the museum avenue :-) no waiting at the entrance and some real interesting things (sry dont know enough english words to describe) by mexican artists. Try the fine coffee shop too :-) enjoy your stay.

Fabulous museum that always has excellent exhibits, wonderful programs, great things in the shop, and a delicious cafe!

East Harlem cultural center try the restaurant. Great Mexican food.

Great time with my daughter there. Great location, near central park so its a few good hours of fun and education. And for free!

Attended a NYTimes event at their theater. Great. Loved series of mexican short films

Always a great experience! Under renovation but still worth it as it is also free with suggested donation.

Small, but also quiet. It was a joy walking around and taking everything in.

Lovely museum. Rather small but the exhibits were varied from Latin American artists of many different mediums. More focus on the diaspora in the US. Cafe is nice as well. Buying tickets here gave us free entry to the more expensive city museum next door.

Its very interesting

Lack of Taino Indigenous references.

Always a great place to visit

Interesting Museum. Good activities for children.

I went there for a gallery tlk. great! No admission charge for this museum.

This is a fun, vibrant, engaging museum and Ive never been to another one like it. I really enjoyed my visit, the only thing that would of made it better was if I could of caught a tour or been able to learn more about the history of the exhibits. Unfortunately the timing of my visit didnt allow for that. The gift shop is worth checking out as they have a bunch of unique items.

Great comedy show!

El Museo is an East Harelm institution. When you find yourself up in el Barrio, make sure you stop by.

Great museum to go learn about Latino culture and just go and enjoy your heritage. The museum has so many employees that are familiar with the neighborhood and will always be willing to talk to you about it. There are so many interesting people that walk through the galleries and its easy to strike up a conversation with the. Go check it out!

I came to support a friends exhibit and front desk had no clue of what I was talking about

A nice Spanish themed museum in Harlem. Very easy to get too with interesting exhibits updated every few months. The Cafe is a bit on the expensive side however the food is good and the sangria is even better.

Very nice place. The new Upgrades are well appreciated

Very limited art...sad.!

Bella comida, the food is a work of art.
