Gallery tips for San Juan

Gallery-going in San Juan? A few habits help:

• Many galleries are free at Siena Art Gallery. Smaller and artist-run spaces often charge nothing. When in doubt, check the website rather than assuming.
• The bookshop corner is curated at Galería W. Labiosa. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
• Photography rules vary. Some galleries welcome photos, others forbid them. Look for the sign at the door rather than guessing.
