"Fifty years ago, on 28 December 1965, the Museo de Arte de Ponce began to operate from its current premises. Nearly four years had passed since architect Edward Durell Stone began working on the design, and just around twenty months since the laying of the cornerstone. Now the exhibition Making the Museum: the Edward Durell Stone Building explores the fascinating process that led to the creation of a landmark design that deserves to be regarded as a work of art on its own right, as its founder Luis A. Ferré was keen to affirm."
