Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico . One of the Caribbean's biggest museums, this beautiful neoclassical building was once the San Juan Municipal Hospital. The collection of Puerto Rican art starts with the colonial era, when most art was commissioned for churches. Works by José Campeche, the island's first great painter, include his masterpiece, Immaculate Conception, finished in 1794. Also well represented is Francisco Oller y Cestero, who was the first to move beyond religious subjects to paint local scenes.
