Create an itinerary including Museo de Arte Fundacion Ortiz-Gurdian

Observe colonial and contemporary art in a complex of five colonial-era buildings connected together at Museo de Arte Fundacion Ortiz-Gurdian. The art collection consists mostly of Latin American art, though some sculptures and paintings in the collection were created by European artists. Hire an English-speaking guide to take you through the exhibits and talk you through the pieces and the artists’ stories. The standing collection is impressive on its own, but the museum also changes out exhibits regularly. Use our Leon trip itinerary builder website to arrange your visit to Museo de Arte Fundacion Ortiz-Gurdian and other attractions in Leon.

Worth a visit if you like art! Building is beautiful as well as the gardens inside. The art was very diverse, we especially loved the Nicaraguan art.

Amazing gallery! Local artists and famous artists (Picasso, Andy Warhol...) Beautiful building and nice stuff. Spend 2 hours. Go on Sunday because they donate the money from all the tickets sold on Sundays.

Went here on our last day in León. Such an amazing collection of arts. If you are tourist they charge you more than a national. It’s a big collection of art, so make sure that you have around 1-2 hours to spend when you are going

Great art museum! Artist from all South America. The best part is the 2 buildings where the exhibitions are, good atmosphere, clean and amazing architecture! Perfect to spend a couple of hours when in Leon.

Very beautiful building with extensive collection. Brilliant to see so much work by Nicaraguan and other Central American artists. There are printed guides to the works (in Spanish and English) in some rooms.
