“Yet perhaps the most popular museum in Quito is the adjoining La Capilla Del Hombre and Museo Guayasamín ($8). If only visiting one museum in Quito, this is likely the best bet. And particularly so for art-lovers. Oswaldo Guayasamín is arguably Ecuador's most famous painter. Even for those who have never heard of this artist, there's much to learn about Guayasamín at this museum. Most visitors depart with a newfound respect and fascination for Guayasamín. “The Chapel of the Man” is his masterpiece building. Guayasamín personally designed it before his death (1999) to showcase his masterworks. The neighboring home/museum offers a peek into Guayasamín’s life. It also shows off the artist's prized collections, his bedroom, his working art studio, and more of his art pieces”
