Havana - Museum of Colonial Art

(Local Name: Museo de Arte Colonial) Housed in a famous home that was once the residence of Don Luis Chacon the Military Governor of Cuba, the Museo de Arte Colonial is an interesting place to visit. The building has been beautifully restored and the twelve rooms within have many interesting displays.

Most of the items on display at the Museo de Arte Colonial date from the 18th and 19th Century and the furniture and room decorations tell of a luxurious time many years ago. The museum is particularly noted for its beautiful medipunto stained glass windows. These unique windows were typically placed above doorways and windows in the mansions of Havana.
