Fusterlandia, Open-air museum in Jaimanitas, Havana, Cuba.
Fusterlandia is an open-air art project covering hundreds of ceramic mosaics, sculptures, and wall decorations across multiple blocks in the Jaimanitas neighborhood. The installations transform buildings, streets, and public spaces into a continuous gallery without walls.
Artist José Fuster started in the 1990s by decorating his own home with ceramic tiles, then gradually extended the work to neighboring properties. Over time the project transformed the entire neighborhood into a collaborative public artwork.
The colorful tile work celebrates Cuban identity, ocean creatures, and mythology through designs that cover homes and public spaces where neighbors see them daily.
The site is free to visit and best explored on foot by walking through the streets to see the artwork on building facades and public areas. Visit in the morning or early afternoon when sunlight brings out the colors of the mosaics most vividly.
Neighborhood residents actively welcome having their homes become part of the art project with new mosaic designs appearing on their facades. This makes it a constantly growing work that changes and develops over time.
