Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Arte Cubano)

1/2 of the museum was closed off. All of the signage is in Spanish. Would recommend getting a tour guide if someone in your party can’t translate from Spanish. Art we saw was circa 1957-1975. Cuba obviously has a rich artistic history, and this museum could be so much more comprehensive and compelling.

Firstly, it's difficult to trust the opening hours listed on Google or anywhere for this museum. You either have to call or go and see for yourself if they're open. It was 5USD for my girlfriend and I and it's not exactly clear the best pathway to explore the museum. There is some nice art here, no question, but half of the place was locked off with no explanation as to why. It's very confusing frankly

One of the best museums in the world, I have been to many and the art is really without equal. Contemporary and modern artists shine, hire a tour guide to get the full impression of the art.

This is officially my favourite art museum in the whole world! The art was very impressive and beautiful, and of a very high standard - I was blown away throughout (got a little lost though!) Majority Cuban artists, mostly art from the 20th Century and a little before and after. I really liked the soviet building itself too, I didn’t see the other building with the stain glass roof as seen in other reviews.

We’ve been to Havana twice now in two years and we finally made it to the museum. I highly recommend this museum. It is air conditioned, incredibly well laid out and is full of some of the best art I have honestly ever seen!

It was very interesting to say the least, when we went there was only 1 exhibit that was open whilst the other 5 were closed? We went during the middle of the day so it was a little disappointing to see that it wasn’t open. However the architecture was really nice inside.

Really loved the classical art section. Small part of contemporary art was good, but just not a fan of contemporary art in general.

With so many different art forms and genres, spread over a number of floors and zones, be sure to set aside 3hrs or more when visiting. One could easily spend an entire day here! Take your smartphone in order to read the histories associated with the artists. Definitely a must visit location in Havana!
