El Museo del Barrio was founded in 1969 by Puerto Rican educators, artists and community activists as an "educational institution that would reflect the richness of their culture. Thirty years later, as New York City's only Latino museum dedicated to Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American art, El Museo retains its strong community roots as a place of cultural pride and self-discovery, yet projects itself nationally through exciting exhibitions and programs."

In 1999 they received a $1 million endowment from the Ford Foundation. [2]
