Museo de Artes Decorativas
About This Museum
Nestled in the heart of Old Havana, the Museo de Artes Decorativas occupies a stunning neoclassical palace that once belonged to the affluent Countess of Revilla de Camargo. Stepping inside feels like wandering into a 19th-century aristocratic home, where every room tells a story of opulence and refined taste. You'll find yourself surrounded by exquisite French furniture, delicate Sèvres porcelain, and glittering Baccarat crystal chandeliers. It’s less a formal museum and more a beautifully preserved glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Havana's bygone elite.
