This museum is located within the old historical quarter of the city. Visitors will not always find all the display rooms open, but there are two exhibition sectors perpetually accessible to the public. One of these holds a collection of various objects that were contributed by museums in the Republic of South Africa, the other has a small display of Afro-Cuban artefacts. By its own definition, Cuban society represents a cultural mix or fusion, with an African influence visible in all of its arts forms, including music, painting, dance and literature.
