Reviewed By Pamwiltravel - Arcata, United States
Although we arrived to Cuba knowing that the Jewish population is only 1,200 people, we were astounded by the vitality and warmth at Temple Beth Shalom. We attended a Friday night service there, and the synagogue was FULL. Afterward, there was a dinner downstairs for about 150 people! It was a big week end there: 60 conversions for intermarriage the day before , and 16 weddings the next day. The Rabbi comes from Chile probably 3 times a year. TIP: We went on a Jewish tour with Turismo Judaico. Suzanne, all of 20 years old, is the driving force behind a super active Sunday School. We loved the tour which included other Jewish sites as well.
2. Estudio Taller Santacana

The Studio and Workshop of Beatriz Sala Santacana exhibits the artist's ceramic sculptures, paintings and drawings. Her work depicts everyday people as the main characters, and brings attention to the conflicts and experiences that shape societies, with a hopeful outlook. Also on display in this bright and welcoming atmosphere are her ceramic murals, plates, vases, glazed tiles and mosaics. On weekends, visits only by appointment.

This is a wonderful gallery and we fell in love with the sculptures. At the end we decided to buy 2 artworks and they arranged all packing and transport to bring them to our home safely. Sabine and Martin Singapore
3. Proyecto Cultural Muraleando

5.0 based on 27 reviews
Created in 2001 by the artist Manuel Diaz Baldrich, Muraleando has transformed the neighborhood into an art gallery. Children form the community and visitors to the project attend classes in pottery, painting, music, dance and engraving aimed at building and developing their artistic skills. This a singular cultural experience and a unique look into Cuban culture, art, food and its way of life.

We were not exactly sure what to expect when we arrived at Muraleando, as the description was a little vague as to what we would do during our visit. Elizabeth greeted us at the door and gave us a tour, explaining the origin of the project. It is such an unbelievably creative solution to a series of problems in the community. We met some of the teachers who are all volunteers and had the option to buy some of their art, as well as some student art. We also had a private performance by some of the music teachers and it was some of the best music we heard in Cuba! They were fantastic! The visit was capped off with a delicious lunch and great conversation with our young guide. She is very well informed and very open to talking about herself, Cuba and, of course, Muraleando. The only thing missing was that in the description it says we would have a volunteer opportunity and, apart from supporting by buying art, we didn't have that chance. However, visiting Muraleando is a wonderful way to learn about the community, the history of the arts in Cuba and all while supporting the children and creating art.

Founded in 2016, Jorge Gil Studio Gallery exhibits a dynamic collection of contemporary jewelry as well as related objects and artworks. With an eye towards the conceptual side of the jewelry field in this gallery placed in the heart of Old Havana you can enjoy watching and buying the pieces of jewelry and sculptures made of titanium by the only goldsmith that works this meetal in Cuba

We had the privilege of visiting Jorge's gallery. His jewelry is lovely, but I was even more enamored of the building. Jorge apparently built the building, all the fixtures, the staircases, and the cabinets himself. This is 3 story building with gallery at street level, living quarters on the 2nd floor, and workshop up above. You can see Jorge's meticulous vision in everything from the jewelry on display to the floors, benches, and organization of the space. It's pretty mind-boggling after having seen the disarray of so many of the structures in Havana, this space is more like something you'd expect to see in a modern European capital. It really speaks to Jorge's tenacity and his can-do sprit. It was a joy to meet Jorge and visit his Gallery/Home/Workshop.

Museum offers a glimpse of colonial Cuba.

I was very tired at this point in the itinerary so waited for my friends in the Museums coffee shop on the ground floor. The attendant made me an excellent capucchno. I also visited the gift shop which had a good selection of art books and art prints, as well as Videos/DVD's on Cuba and its history.

This is in the heart of central parc, The photos by night and day from various angles was awesome, don,t go all the way upstairs to buy tickets, like I did as you face the building go to the side you will find two little cabin together we you can purchase your tickets. The tour is in Espanol, oh and other languages two, they have portable information radios and as you walk around the tour, security will tell you what buttons to press, I thoroughly enjoyed the history of the Palacio De Los Capitanes Generales, so much to learn about this lovely country.
