Centro Leon
The León Center is a museum that seeks to articulate educational, sociocultural animation, research, informative and exhibition programs around Dominicanity that dates as far back to the Taino natives of the Dominican Reublic. Each part of the museum is intriguing, and some sections are even interactive. If you ever go to República Dominicana, you have to visit the museum. If you come with CIEE, you'll definitely visit and be in for a cultural treat!
P.S some rooms were off limits to phones, so I couldn't show most of the beautiful pieces that the museum has, so you have to gonow to see it for yourself!
