Centro de Arte Fundación Ortiz Gurdián
C$20 general, C$10 student (with ID)
3 blocks west of the cathedral on the avenue

This privately supported centre is perhaps the finest art museum in Nicaragua. Showcases both international and Central American artists of various periods and media. Admission proceeds go the Breast Cancer Programme for Low Income Women.

There are murals all over the city. One of the more unsettling commemorates a massacre of protesting local students by the militia.
