The museum is in fact two houses joined together. At the front is the oldest house in Santiago de Cuba - some say in Cuba itself, constructed from 1516 to 1530 for the governor Diego Velazquez, with historic Mudejar-style interiors; it is then connected to a later house at the rear to create a substantial museum which displays Cuban furniture and decorative arts from the 16th century onwards, in rooms which have been sensitively restored. Definitely worth visiting both for the architecture and for the collections on display. There is also a furnace previously used to make gold ingots. from a time when the building was used as a 'House of Transactions'. The assistants are helpful in explaining things, though generally in Spanish.

Step back in time where everything has stopped right where Hemingway left it. Such a fastenaing author. The grounds are beautiful, and you are able to walk arond. The "Pilar" is roped off, and a guard is standing by, but you can see it from a few feet away. The same with his house. It is all ropped off, but all of the windows, and doors are open for you to see inside, and transport yourself back in time. There are people that work there that are able to take your camera, and get a close up of any of the items in his hose, especially his typewriter, and Picasso. For a tip. There is a gift shop, and snack bar with toilets to use as well. If you are a Hemingway fan you don't want to miss this little bit of history that will transport you back in time. No self audio tour available.

A place to come if you are interested in learning about the economic history of Cuba. The sugar production brought wealth to this area and the museum gives you some important pieces of information about how it happened. Nice guide and tasty welcome drink. They play a video ( they have it in several languages) to make you " tune in" at the beginning of the tour.
