Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
The modern Bellas Artes Museum is split into two buildings
housing International and Cuban art. The Colección de Arte
Universal covers everything from ancient Greek artefacts and Latin
American pieces to art by French, Dutch and Italian painters. The
Colección de Arte Cubano is also outstanding and covers works from
the 16th to the 20th centuries by prominent Cuban artists.
Information & Facts
Address
Corner of Calle Trocadero (between Calles Zulueta and
Monserrate) and Calle San Rafael (between Calles Zulueta and
Monserrate)
Admission
CUC$5 (adults), Free for children under 14
Language
The official language is Spanish, but English is spoken
in the main tourist spots.
Money
The official currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP), divided into 100
centavos, but the 'tourist' currency is the Peso Convertible (CUC),
which replaces the US Dollar as currency in tourist related
establishments like hotels, restaurants and so called 'dollar
shops'. US Dollars are no longer accepted as payment, and a 10%
commission or more is charged to exchange them, therefore the best
currency to bring along is Euros, the British Pound or Canadian
Dollars. The CUC is almost equal in value to the US Dollar. Some
places only accept Cuban pesos and others only Pesos Convertible
(usually tourist related establishments). Money should only be
changed at official exchange bureaux or banks to avoid scams
confusing the two currencies. Visa and MasterCard are generally
accepted only in major cities and hotels as long as they haven't
been issued by a US bank; Diners Club has limited acceptance, and
American Express is not accepted anywhere on the island. Travellers
cheques are less readily accepted than credit cards, but all major
currencies are acceptable, except for US bank issued cheques. No
US-issued credit or debit cards will work in ATMs, but those
holding other cards issued in other countries should be able to get
pesos at most major tourist destinations. Euro or Sterling
travellers cheques are accepted at Cuban banks and Bureaux de
Change.
