About

Museo de la Historia de San Germán is a non-profit organisation based in San Germán, Puerto Rico working on heritage, arts & culture.

The Museo de la Historia de San Germán (MHISA) is a non-profit museum in San Germán, Puerto Rico. It presents the history of San Germán and western Puerto Rico, from the colonial town founded in the early 16th century to the present, through a collection of indigenous Taíno artefacts, 19th-century objects, religious wood carvings, paintings, coins, historical memorabilia and a library of rare books and periodicals. It operates alongside the Museo Farmacia Domínguez La Botica, housed in a 19th-century pharmacy, and its exhibitions are free to the public. The museum depends on donations, fundraising and volunteer staff to conserve its collection and to run its programmes, and invites visitors to make donations.
