Fantastic small museum. Free admission, you can donate by the door. It's only 1 room + gift shop. There's a lot of information here if you take the time to read everything and understand what is going on, a true craft that should have more popularity.
Everything is written in Spanish so bring a charged phone for Google translate, if you read everything and actually want to understand what's going on you'll spend about 1.5 hours here. Absolutely worth checking out.
Please consider offering lessons or classes, it's a great way to continue the historical legacy of the craft and would greatly benefit the community.
Couldn't buy anything in the gift shop because they said they couldn't take cash or cards because something about an owner not being there, so they couldn't take anything payment-wise unless you had this stupid app for a local bank; so if you don't live here you wouldn't be able to use the app. Everything's in Spanish which that was okay because I just used Google translate to take pictures and read it from there. I suggest calling ahead to make sure you can buy something from the gift shop before you go. The hammock room was pretty, but honestly I'm just extremely disappointed I couldn't buy anything because I saw a perfect necklace for my grandmother. Again, call before you go so if you want to actually buy anything you'll know if you can or not.
Who knew there would be a museum of hammocks?! So fun. The museum is free. It's one room, with the second room being a small artisan gift store and weaving. You could see the whole thing in 15 minutes. There is street parking, no dedicated parking lot.
Apparently handwomen hammocks are a big deal in PR, and they have an annual hammock festival to help keep the history and the trade alive.
Also Google translate on photos for the win. It's my first time trying it out and it does a good job! Everything is in Spanish.
