Museum of Modern Art

San Salvador's Museum of Modern Art is small but well designed. The permanent exhibit, called 'Puntos Cardinales,' uses the artwork of several generations of Salvadoran modern painters to explore facets of the national consciousness. Two temporary exhibit halls feature mostly Latin American artists.

The museum is a healthy uphill walk from the anthropology museum, and sits just behind the large Monumento a la Revolución. The museum restaurant, Punto Café, is a local favorite, but isn't particularly cheap. For something less expensive, try the street stands near the parking area.
