About
クイックファクト: Step inside and you’ll find one of the richest collections of Cuban art, where vivid mural-sized canvases and intimate colonial portraits sit side by side. A rooftop courtyard floods the galleries with tropical light, while quiet rooms reveal surprising modernist experiments and political cartoons that trace a nation’s turbulent cultural history.
ハイライト: Slip into the hushed Cuban galleries at golden hour and the honeyed light makes Wifredo Lam's sinuous figures, Amelia Peláez's ceramic-like brushwork, and René Portocarrero's mosaic-like murals glow as if someone turned the saturation up on the whole room. Curators quietly rotate pieces from the vault every few months, so the same marble halls can surprise you with a 19th-century portrait in velvet tones one visit and a riotous modernist panel the next.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and light layers, some rooms have marble floors and limited ventilation.
- Bring cash for tickets and the small museum shop, card payments are frequently unavailable.
- Begin in the Cuban art building if short on time, prioritize modernists like Wifredo Lam and Amelia Peláez over repetitive portrait rooms.
- No-flash photography for personal use is usually allowed, watch for gallery signs and avoid blocking walkways when shooting.
