Lonely Planet review

This exhibition center is named after Cuba's most famous painter, though these days it is more likely to display works by lesser-known Latin artists. A Cuban of Chinese and African ancestry, Lam (1902-1982) was strongly influenced by Pablo Picasso, whom he met in Paris in 1936 and under whom he studied for a brief period. Much of the artist's best work can be viewed today at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
