Take a trip to Latin America without having to leave Fifth Avenue. El Museo Del Barrio showcases artwork from Caribbean, Latino, and Latin American cultures. The museum's permanent collection includes 6,500 pieces of work varying from contemporary art to archeological pieces. Be sure to check out the "popular traditions" portion, which includes an array of Caribbean and Latin American folk arts, comprised of secular objects, religious objects, wood carvings, and masks - a category that's totally unique to this museum.
