Museo de Arte Fundacion Ortiz-Gurdian, Leon Department, Nicaragua

4.5 (455 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Leon Speciality Museums

Wonderfully curated collection

An extensive eclectic mix of art from early European to contemporary International and local artists. The elegant, cool building with shady courtyard and lush vegetation is a great place to sit and think. The vivid pop art and the video installation of the revolution cover a vast array of styles and messages. The room stewards are friendly and helpful.

Repeat visits will, in am sure, uncover new and surpsing things that were missed the first time
An amazing expanse of Latin American artwork, plus others, spread over 5 houses, each with its own courtyard. Peaceful. A respite from the city. An absolute MUST if you go to Leon. Allow time to get entranced by one or more pieces of surprising art. These are wonderful collections!!!

Best Museum in Leon
Surprisingly good museum with a plethora of art, it primarily features Central American artists. All are nicely placed in galleries facing each other across the street. My favorite was a collection of 12 well preserved indigenous pottery items. I also found Rembrant, Picasso, Warhol, and Basquiat paintings. This is a museum that needs multiple visits, so there may be more internationally known artists as well.
