National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba

The National Museum of Fine Arts presents Cuban and international art collections across two buildings in central Havana, including paintings, sculptures, and installations.

Founded in 1913 under director Emilio Heredia, the museum relocated multiple times before settling in its current location at the former Colon Market site.

The Cuban art collection spans from the 17th century to present times, featuring works by René Portocarrero, Wifredo Lam, and other national artists.

The museum operates in two separate buildings: the Palace of Fine Arts for Cuban art and the Asturian Center Palace for international collections.

The institution holds over 30,000 artistic pieces, with 940 works in the permanent exhibition divided into Colonial Art, Turn of the Century, Modern, and Contemporary sections.
