We wake on New Year's Eve to the sound of firecrackers at 6:30 am.  After leisurely showers and breakfast we decide to take in Cuenca's Arte Moderno, the modern art museum.  It's a stroll along Rio Tomebamba then up the 80+ stairs to Parque San Sebastián and the museum.  As we approach the Parque we see floats and people lined up for a parade.  It appears to be one of the local church parades - complete with floats, children on horseback, bands and dancing groups of women in local attire.  We have a great time watching the festivities and then go into the museum.

Arte Moderno is a work in progress.  Approximately one-third of the exhibits are drawings from local school children.  There is a temporary exhibit of photographs from a South American artist and another exhibit of photographs from local Cuenca artists.  A few galleries include paintings and drawings from more renowned Ecuador artists and a few sculptures dotting the courtyard of the museum.  The museum is worth the one hour and the free admission, but is not a "must see".

You are much kinder than me to that museum. I have been there 3 times in 2 years, each time thinking maybe they will have something worth seeing. December was better than before, but I still wonder how anyone conned someone into putting up most of that trash... Gotta be the worst art museum I have seen in the world.
