Lonely Planet review

This is the former workshop and home of the notable Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamín, who lived in Habana for many years before his death in March 1999. Guayasamín is most famous for various paintings of Fidel produced during the 80s and 90s, but has painted many other Cuban luminaries, including Raúl Castro, Eusebio Leal, Carlos Puebla and Columbian novelist Gabriel García Márquez. Unfortunately you won't find any of these portraits here.

Instead the house showcases exhibits of Cuban and international art, although the place is actually more impressive for its finely worked iron railings, marble staircases, graceful arches and other architectural features.
