The Museum of Puerto Rican Music includes memorabilia of prominent musicians, composers, and performers, as well as musical instruments associated with the three main ethnic groups influencers of the Puerto Rican music: The Taíno Indians, Spanish, and African.
It also showcases musical instruments that were played in the romantic danza genre, the favorite genre of music of 19th-century Puerto Rican high society, as well as the more African-inspired bomba and plena styles.
