Friends of Francisco
Rediscovering the life and work of Francisco Romero Areyzaga has become a collaborative effort. Along the way, individuals with their own connections to his art and history have generously shared their knowledge, expertise, research and time.
Friends of Francisco recognizes the historians, artists, museum professionals, researchers and others who are helping us uncover his story, locate and understand his surviving works, and preserve his artistic legacy for future generations.
Each has become part of a growing circle connected by a shared interest in bringing Francisco Romero Areyzaga—and the world he captured in miniature—back into view.
The Museo de Historia, Antropología y Arte at the University of Puerto Rico’s Río Piedras Campus
The MAHA has played an important role in preserving the artistic legacy of Francisco Romero Areyzaga. As stewards of several of his remarkable dioramas, the Museo has safeguarded works that offer a rare glimpse into both Francisco’s artistry and the Puerto Rican life and culture he sought to capture in miniature. Their preservation of these pieces has made it possible for Francisco’s descendants, researchers, and future generations to rediscover and better understand his work more than a century later.
We are deeply grateful to the Museo and its staff for their care of these extraordinary pieces and for their assistance as we continue to uncover Francisco’s story.
