"Curious About Cuba" shows a side of the island nation that we seldom hear about: her art, history, and culture.

Despite Cuba’s overwhelming economic and political challenges, museums in Havana abound, from rum and revolution to cars and cigars. In fact, Old Havana itself is a museum-quality collection of historic buildings, reflecting 400 years of Spanish rule and a hundred years of revolution.  Outside the museum walls are stunning public works projects focusing on cultural preservation and the restoration of Old Havana City’s ancient public streets, squares, and majestic architectural structures. This living history is now being meticulously restored and transformed into apartments, schools, cafes and markets for its citizens.
