Ferré, and its current building was officially inaugurated on December 28, 1965. It was significantly enlarged in 2010 after a $30M expansion. The museum has been called "world class".〔(''Long Range Multimodal Transportation Plan: 2032 Puerto Rico Five Transportation Planning Regions.

==History==
The project of the museum began in 1956 when Luis A. Ferré traveled to Europe and acquired various European art pieces, including many pre-Raphealite works, which encouraged him to start a project for a museum in the city of Ponce, his birthplace. With the advice of two experts – Julius S. Held, specialist on Rubens and professor of Art History at Barnard College and Columbia University, and René Taylor, art and architecture enthusiast and professor at the University of Granada, Yale, and Columbia – Ferré compiled a collection of works of art based on their value instead of their popularity.〔(Celia Quartermain. ''King Arthur Comes Home: How a key Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood painting by Edward Burne-Jones Ended up on a Caribbean Island.'' NewStatesman. April 14, 2008. ) Retrieved November 27, 2009.〕 Ferré would state in a Forbes interview that "the scholars and critics all called it kitsch, everyone thought I was crazy to buy them."
On January 3, 1959, Ferré opened the museum in a small wooden house at Cristina Street in Ponce originally with 72 works of art,〔 at what is today the Centro Cultural de Ponce (Ponce Cultural Center). Some of these original paintings are still on display in the current museum. As time passed and the museum gained popularity, more pieces of art were either donated to and acquired by the Museum. In 1962, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation donated 15 paintings to the museum.〔 By 1989, the museum's collection had grown to 500 pieces, with a then estimated value of $50 million,〔 equivalent to $ in present day terms.
