Napoleon Museum, Napoleonic history museum near University of Havana, Cuba.
The Napoleon Museum occupies a Renaissance-style mansion constructed with Italian marble and displays thousands of artifacts from the French Revolution through the Second Empire.
The collection originated from Julio Lobo and Orestes Ferrara, who acquired the pieces at auctions during the first half of the 20th century before opening to the public in 1961.
The museum exhibits works by French artists including Louis Tocqué and Jean-Marc Nattier, along with Napoleon's personal items, military equipment, and period furniture.
Located on San Miguel Street between Ronda and Mazón, the museum operates Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with guided tours available.
The collection includes Napoleon's death mask, created by his physician Dr. Francesco Antommarchi, who later traveled to Cuba to study yellow fever.
