La Société Hispanique d’Amérique - New York, New York

A hidden gem. I just learned about this incredible place a couple of days ago browsing online. Kudos to Julio who answered all my questions and gave me so much context and tips. Because of him, I really enjoyed the Estrada exhibit and know to return in January when they rotate the next exhibit... And every season. I can't believe this place has been here forever. Mr. Huntington just fell in love with Hispanic art and made his collections freely available for the public to admire. Two of Sorolla's paintings stirred an instant feeling of happiness in me. It's amazing. I can't wait for the permanent building across the way to open. Please rush your renovations. I certainly hope you will advertise your gem far and wide. Why deprive the public of such richness!

Si bien tienen unos cuantos cuadros de artistas muy reconocidos. Lo que se puede visitar y ver es poco.

Las obras de Sorolla y la sala que las alberga es quizás lo más destacado.

A mi me decepcionó mucho.

I cannot believe I got to see this for free. I just walked in on a Saturday morning, and was blown away by the majestic pieces they have here. A wonderful visit through history and time throughout the Iberian peninsula. My ancestors would be proud.

Anne Hathaway did not spit in my food.

I appreciate the feeling of serenity from being inside of this building. Sorolla's paintings of Spain are brilliantly astounding. I look forward to the proposed renovation & expansion, because some things feel out of date & inaccessible. Perhaps that's why I'd never visited before.

非常棒的一个社区博物馆，免费参观并且没有拥挤的人群，特别令我惊喜的是：这里收藏了我非常喜欢的西班牙绘画大师Francisco de Yoga 和El Greco的作品，特别开心。也推荐给热爱艺术的朋友们！

I had my first visit today. Although the AC in the main room does not work well and much of the art (sculptures) are very religious but my favorite art is the paintings. The adjoining large room features the Vision of Spain by the Valencian master Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida with 14 huge paintings----which was a revelation! I went to art school and his painting make me want to paint again! To me, a great painter is a master of composition, color, light, foreshortening, technique, beauty, and creativity and Sorolla checks all the boxes. I could spend hours in this room going from painting to painting. Simply brilliant. Be aware that only the first-floor galleries are open and the AC is not the best. The limestone facade has been cleaned and looks great. The signs say the fountain and outdoor (with sculptures that make you think you aren't in NYC) area are being restored so I am going to come back. Note to the administration: the lighting in the main gallery is uneven and could be better.

What a disappointment! The website makes it look like a great museum with tons of works of art. Not true. There are three or four rooms, basically, that you can see in less than 20 minutes. I only saw two Velazquez and one Goya in a small room, great large paintings by Sorolla in a large room (this exhibition was great), some not interesting paintings in the main room, and four or five pieces by Dominican Yorks in a small room (a couple of them very nice). The upstairs was closed when I went. I asked two museum workers if that was it or maybe I was missing some other part of the museum, and they both told me that was it. I couldn't believe it, so I went around the building, but no, that was it. I didn't even see any library. Thank God it was free.

Una visita muy interesante para realizar. Es muy recomendable hacer la visita guiada. Es impresionante ver la colección de Joaquín Sorolla. La visita es gratuita.
