    Museo de Artes Decorativas

    The Museo de Artes Decorativas is a thoughtful collection of quirky items from a bygone age, such as a working Victrola (Benny Moré serenades your visit), antique pocket watches and ornate canopy beds with mother-of-pearl inlays. A CUC$1 tip gets you a typically enthusiastic local guide (in English or Spanish).
