Stunning artwork and a very cool house museum. You enter through the gate where you pay, and they ask whether you want a tour in English or Spanish. The English-speaking guide at the house museum was phenomenal. It's a really interesting museum with hundreds of artifacts and pieces of artwork, plus you can see his studio with working artists. Then there's a separate art museum featuring Guayasamin's work -- also with English or Spanish guides. After the tour you can wander the museum. Great gift shop as well where you can purchase prints, clothing, jewelry, and other souvenirs.

The ability to be so close, inside the life of a world renowned artist is very unusual and wonderful. You feel like you knew him personally, and his desire to share his art collection in such a personal way is inspirational and appreciated. The architecture of his house is spectacular and the explanation of his art collection, as well as his artwork, was completely fascinating. We also had a chocolate tasting during our visit which was very interesting and delicious.

We were recommended to visit this museum, and what a wonderful experience it was. The chapel of man was simply amazing. Stunning paintings and artwork displayed in such a beautiful setting. We were fortunate to have an English speaking guide take us around the gallery. Highly recommend a visit here. The house which is included in the tour is definitely worth visiting. We had a wonderful guide who was so knowledgable about the artist and his life, well worth a visit.

Two museums in one. Visit the house the artist lived in for the last 20 years of his life and then another building housing many of his paintings. Well put together and easily enjoyed even by art neophytes. Guayasamin was a socialist who lived during the Cold War and met some major world figures (Mao & Castro) and had three major phases of his career. Learning about his house and life from the docent helped put him in context and show his growth throughout his career. Worth an hour or two.

A bit far out but excellent collection and i loge the painter’s style, I loved the explanations and the thoughts behind the works. Both tours were in English and were good but I felt rushed during the tour in the house. I would have needed more time to admire each room, the design of the house and the tons of pieces the artist collected. The guides are well informed and knowledgeable and therefore able to answer all the questions, especially the guide in the chapel.
