The Hispanic Society of America

The Hispanic Society of America is a museum of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American art and artifacts, as well as a rare books and maunscripts research library. Founded in 1904 by Archer M. Huntington, the institution is free and open to the public at its original location in a Beaux Arts building on Audubon Terrace in the lower Washington Heights area of New York City in United States.

The museum contains works by Diego Velazquez, Francisco Goya, El Greco, and Joaquin Sorolla, among others. The rare books library maintains 15,000 books printed before 1700, including a first edition of Don Quixote.

Attendance at the museum is typically sparse, as it is not located near many other major cultural institutions.
