guayasamin museum印象

This is a beautiful setting with the best collection of Guayasamín's work, and a lovely architectural complex. Powerful work in a minimalist setting, and then the tour of his home and art studio is just lovely. The little cafeteria is not good, so come to the spot already having had your lunch. I agree with other reviews that the beautiful gift shop will capture you, but I was happy to buy two books of Guayasamín's art work.

The home contains the pre-Colonial and Colonial art that Mr Guayasamin collected himself. The museum next door contains his own works. Plan to spend a half day here. It's worth every minute.

Never have I enjoyed every piece of art of a particular artist as much as Oswaldo Guayasamin's. Absolutely beautiful works all emotionally charged and full of love for his country and people. His portrayal of human suffering, perhaps more than joy, is tangible. His house is also open for viewing which is just as interesting and gives some insight into his personal lifestyle. Clearly Guayasamin was a self made man, great artist and lover of life. His legacy will live on, surely. The guided tour of the house is not to be missed; our guide was extremely well read in the arts and art history and portrayed Guayasamin as if he was her father, bringing him back to life in the process!

Both Capella del Hombre and the Museum Guayasamin are covered - you would buy tickets to both as they are in the same complex and complimentary to each other.

Please visit the Capilla del Hombre and the Museum. We started with the Capilla and asked for a guide (no charge). It was very worthwhile and gave us insight into this artist, a stunning humanitarian. In his home, we had a very good tour in English with two videos. The home is amazing, but my favorite part was the video, in his studio, of his actual painting of a portrait in ONE HOUR. Incredible. And the portrait is in the studio. You won't be disappointed if you visit this site. Take a taxi.

Guayasamín painted for the downtrodden and repressed and managed to make a pretty good living from it, and I don't want to find fault with that, but the message of his art got a little diluted once I went to his home. It's a beautiful home, though!

The art of Oswaldo Guayasamin will haunt you -- it will get into your soul and stay with you long after you leave Ecuador. The museum captures and presents this in a magnificent setting, overlooking the entire city of Quito, and the tour of both the museum and Guayasamin's house and his incredible personal art collection is breath-taking. Our magical day ended in the Museum shop where we decided to purchase two pencil-signed Guayasamin lithographs so his art could, literally, stay with us forever. We were given signed certified receipts and told by Gabriela Granda, the lovely woman who sold us the art, that we would go to the tax refund desk at the airport and they would refund our 12% tax, a considerable amount of money, as we had paid a considerable amount of money for the lithos. The next day, when we went to the airport, we discovered that the lovely Gabriela, who told us she's worked at the Museum for 9 years, had outright lied to us. There is NO TAX REFUND on art that is purchased at any museum, as the very patient but insistent young man at the tax refund desk explained to us. He showed us the list of places (mostly hotels, oddly enough) where purchases can be made that qualify for tax refunds. The Guayasamin Museum is not, and never has been, on that list. We still would have bought the art -- there was no reason at all to lie to us -- but the whole experience left such a bad taste that we still haven't had the work framed. I have written to the Guayasamin Foundation with copies of all my documents but still have not heard back from them. I hope I do. That kind of behavior should not be tolerated. Other than that, great museum, fantastic art, don't miss it.

Guayasamin's Museum (former home) is a sanctuary of art. The curators are spectacular! They offer English, Russian, Spanish and German... N/C

The best part is actually the tour of the house, the art, the artifacts and the video of Guayasamin painting his good friend Paco De Lucia.

The Museo Guayasamin is very impressive. Oswaldo Guayasamin's home has been well preserved. From his clothes still in the closets to his art studio, everything is in its place. Many of his works can be viewed in his home as well as down the path leading to the La Capilla Del Hombre where there are numerous large pieces of his art. The grounds are very nice and the views are beautiful. Take a taxi as the area is very hilly ($5.00 from Plaza Foch). Our guide Peter was great.
