Havana - Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes

 
Havana's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes contains three main collections and includes a large number of individual pieces. The first section is dedicated to Cuban Art from the 17th Century to present and includes over four thousand paintings, almost thirteen thousand prints, and 285 sculptures. The second section, Art from European Masters, contains over sixteen hundred paintings and 126 sculptures, the third collection, Ancient Art from the Egyptian to Roman ages contains close to 600 works.

The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is spread across two buildings, the Palacio del Centro Asturiano and the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The former building designed in the 1920s by Manuel Bustos has recently been restored to its former glory. The second building is of the Rationalist design and was built in 1959.
