Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes

Frommer's Review

The National Fine Arts Museum fills three floors of this square-city-block building, and the design -- with a central courtyard and zigzagging ramped stairwell -- can make navigating the upper floors confusing, so allow yourself plenty of time, and be prepared to get mildly lost inside. An extensive collection of Cuban art and sculpture is on display at the newly renovated main building here. Modern masters like Wifredo Lam, Raúl Martínez, Amelia Peláez, and Rene Portocarrero are well represented. The international collection is now housed in a recently restored early-20th-century gem of a building. This collection leans heavily on classical and neoclassical European works, although there are some American, Latin American, and Oriental works on display. Give yourself at least 2 hours to tour either museum, or more if you want to get a good feel for the extensive Cuban art collection.
