PROJECTS
In addition to murals, Ciudad Museo participates in and produces a variety of artistic projects. These initiatives are not limited to painting; they encompass a wide range of creative forms and expressions designed to benefit and uplift local communities.
Below, discover some of our most iconic projects:
MEJUNJE: Because too much happened to not to share (2023-2025)
Mejunje was a traveling exhibition produced by Ciudad Museo that began in 2020 as a response to the COVID‑19 pandemic. At a time when restrictions prevented people from gathering in public spaces, members of the collective developed a compendium of twenty pieces inspired by the historical events that have shaped Puerto Rico since the impact of Hurricane María.
The title “Mejunje” refers to the blend of themes, mediums, and participating artists, reflecting the creative diversity that defined the exhibition. It officially opened in early 2023 and concluded in mid‑2025, after touring two municipalities in each region of the island—north, south, east, west, and central—through collaborations with museums, cultural centers, and art galleries.
During its approximately two‑month stay in each location, audiences had the opportunity to experience the exhibition and participate in a series of complementary artistic activities. Mejunje was made possible thanks to the support of various public and private institutions, as well as the engagement of the community, solidifying itself as a project that brought art, reflection, and collective memory to communities across Puerto Rico.
Letters Of Bo. Playa (2021)
This self-managed project by Ciudad Museo was carried out in collaboration with the community of Barrio Playa in Añasco, Puerto Rico, and was sponsored by by local residents and business owners. Beyond beautifying one of the main access routes to the neighborhood, the initiative sought to attract more visitors, increase the barrio’s visibility, and strengthen its local economy—especially after the closure of its public beach in 2017 due to the impact of Hurricane María.
The letters, made from PVC panels, were cut and painted by the members of Ciudad Museo, while their installation was led by the “Team Playa” community group, whose ongoing commitment to the well‑being and revitalization of their neighborhood has been essential to the project.
Located on Ciprés Street in Añasco, Puerto Rico.

For the opening of the Animal Den Shelter in Añasco, Puerto Rico,educator and animal‑assisted intervention specialist Ivelisse García commissioned a mural in honor of Bailey, an emotional‑support dog rescued after Hurricane María in 2017 at La Salle School in the same municipality. From that moment on, Bailey had a profound impact on the lives of countless students, helping them manage stress and offering comfort during moments of personal difficulty. After his passing, and with the desire to preserve his legacy of empathy and solidarity, he was honored during the shelter’s inauguration with the unveiling of his portrait, painted by Bryant López of Ciudad Museo.
This artwork celebrates the emotional imprint Bailey left on his community and highlights the importance of the bond between animals and human well‑being.
Reviving Villa Michelle (2019)
This project was a collaboration with the Villa Michelle Animal Shelter in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, with the goal of drawing public attention and encouraging the adoption of pets in need of a permanent home. To achieve this, four vibrant murals were installed at the shelter’s main entrance, creating a welcoming and eye‑catching environment that invites both visitors and passersby to support its mission.
What We Lived (2018)
This project consisted of creating murals on wooden panels depicting various scenes of everyday life in Puerto Rico in the days following Hurricane María. The intervention took place in commemoration of the first anniversary of the event, in the community of Barrio Playa in Añasco, Puerto Rico.
Carried out by the artists of Ciudad Museo, the initiative was made possible thanks to the support of actress Luna Vélez, Project Refuge PR, New York Disaster Interfaith Services (NYDIS), and other collaborators committed to the island’s recovery.
The project sought not only to make these experiences visible, but also to validate the struggles of those affected by natural disasters, whose lives were drastically and permanently transformed. The work became a space of memory and recognition for a community that continues to rebuild itself with resilience.
