On display are over 8,000 books, pieces of art, stuffed hunting trophies, the author's typewriter, and other personal belongings. Visitors are not allowed inside but can see in from the outside, unless it is raining in which case the house is closed up. Visitors can wander through the garden to see Hemingway's fishing boat, "Pilar", which he had kept in Cojimar. There is also a pet cemetery in the garden, not surprisingly, given his love of cats.
