El Museo del Barrio is at 1230 Fifth Avenue at East 104th Street, New York, NY 10029, in East Harlem. Founded in 1969 by Raphael Montañez Ortiz with Puerto Rican parents, educators, artists and activists, the museum focuses on Puerto Rican and Latin American art and culture in the United States.

Visitor information needs a date check. The museum lists regular gallery hours of Thursday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m.; Monday–Wednesday closed. However, the same page retains a temporary-closure sentence anticipating August 28, 2025. Its current header says galleries are open. Confirm today’s access with the museum rather than treating that old sentence as a new closure announcement.

The official page describes pay-what-you-can admission, with suggested amounts of $9 adults and $5 students/seniors; members and children under 12 are listed free. Advance timed reservations are encouraged; walk-ins are first come, first served. These are published terms, not a promise of ticket availability. Official hours, admission and booking link →.

The museum identifies a wheelchair ramp to the right of the Fifth Avenue entrance stairs and accessible restrooms on the first floor. Confirm individual access requirements and any temporary changes at 212-831-7272 or through the official contact page. All times are New York local time.

For the Fifth Avenue directory, the practical distinction is between a cultural institution, a visit and a property offer. This profile supplies an address and source-based planning information; it does not establish that OPC visited, that every gallery is available, or that the property is for sale.
