It is the last great project created by Oswaldo Guayasamín "Painter of Ibero-America". It is a space that invites the reflection of history from the point of view of Latin America, -from Mexico to Patagonia-, from ancient cultures to contemporary miscegenation. A point of reference for the whole world to look at the past and project ourselves into the future. The Chapel of the Man (La Capilla del Hombre) is part of the 4 cultural places of Guayasamin Foundation (Fundación Guayasamín) that you can visit with the same entrance fee: *"Casa Museo Guayasamín"(Guayasamín House Museum), , *“Sala Maruja Monteverde” (Maruja Monteverde Temporary exhibition room), *"La Capilla Del Hombre"(the Chapel of the Man), and *"Sitio Arqueológico y Parque De Las Culturas" (Archaeological Site and Park of Cultures).

Just WOW!
The capilla, which is on the same grounds as the Casa Museo Guayasamin, is stunning. I was not familiar with the artist Oswaldo Guayasamin before hearing about this place from other travelers. There are guided tours given in the capilla and also in the museum, which are included with the price of the ticket. The whole experience was impressive and made me a fan!

A Must See in Quito!
If your staying in Old Town pay to take a taxi ... the Museum and home of Oswaldo Guayasamín are totally worth the trip plus you will have the bonus of seeing other parts of the city! Watching the video of Guayasamin create a portrait of a renown guitarist was mesmerizing to watch and to hear Guayasamin himself explain his process as he creates was remarkable! Both exhibits are interconnected in my minds eye ... go, just go ... see the museum, see the house, so very worth it!!
