Obispo #113, e/ Mercaderes y Oficios, Habana Vieja

    • The museum displays a collection of silver walking sticks, swords and other items of metalwork by Cuban silversmiths from the 15th-20th centuries. Especially interesting are the pieces from the colonial and republican periods, including items made by the brothers Misa Besada, Spanish silversmiths who resided in Havana. The early 19th-century building where the museum is situated is a faithful example of Havana’s neoclassical domestic architecture.
