The Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico was designed by Edward Durell Stone for the museum founded by Luis A. Ferré. The infobox lists Fundación Luis A. Ferré as owner. The project began in 1956, the first stone was placed on April 23, 1964 and the building opened on December 28, 1965.
The text names no style or materials. Its notable feature is hexagonal galleries that admit natural light through their corners. The original design had 14 galleries, two gardens and an amphitheater. A 2010 annex added 37,745 square feet (3,506.6 square meters), raising the total to 77,745 square feet.
The museum closed from 2008 to 2010 for a renovation costing about 30 million dollars. It holds Flaming June and The Last Sleep of Arthur in Avalon. The infobox gives about 4,500 pieces, but a later section says almost 4,000. It charges a small admission fee. The article gives no hours.
