Varadero - Varadero Museum Museo de Varadero

The Museo de Varadero is a nice distraction from the beach. The museum is housed in a 1920s beach house designed by architect Leopoldo Abreu. The design, with the surrounding balconies and wood veranda, is a typical example of beach houses from that time period. It was renovated extensively in the early 1980s.

The Museo de Varadero contains some mildly interesting exhibits including, stuffed animals, period furniture, and the remains of a small two headed shark. Some of the old photos on display show Varadero in the 1940s and 1950s. There are also a variety of miscellaneous historical items from around Varadero.
