Architecture The museum is housed in a set of Neoclassical "twin houses". It has a frieze which shows a geometric motif and immediately stands out the cornice. The roof is covered with wood and zinc.

Hurricane and reopening The museum sustained heavy damage in Hurricane Maria. It was repaired and reopened after three years.

Significance The museum is a historic site.

Facilities The museum shows an exhibition room with memorabilia by Pablo Casals, portraits of the Defillo family, and a cultural hall for chamber concerts and cultural events.
