According with wikipedia.com: "Museo Castillo Serrallés (English: Serrallés Castle Museum) is a museum in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, that showcases the history of sugar cane and rum industries and its impact in the economy of Puerto Rico. The most notorious feature of the museum is the building it sits on. The building is a large four-story structure built in the 1930s for the owner of Ponce's Destileria Serralles, one of Puerto Rico's largest rum destilleries. They also owned one-time home to Puerto Rico's largest sugar-factory called Central Mercedita, producers of the Snow White sugar brand. The building, known as Castillo Serrallés, was designed by Pedro Adolfo de Castro in 1930 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The museum sits on a 2.5-acre lot and opened in February 1991. Visitors can tour the refurbished home, which has been furnished to appear as it did in the 1930s. There is also a temporary exhibit area for local artists. The Serrallés Castle is now part of a large complex that includes the Cruceta El Vigía, and a Japanese Garden. Even a butterfly garden is also within the museum grounds. By September 2010, the museum was receiving around 100, 000 visitors per year."
