Lonely Planet review for Museo de Historia Natural
Universidad de la Habana's central quadrangle, the Plaza Ignacio Agramonte, displays a tank captured by Castro’s rebels in 1958. To the left is the Edificio Felipe Poey, which contains the Museo de Historia Natural. It is Cuba’s oldest museum, founded in 1874 by the Academia de Ciencias Médicas, Físicas y Naturales. Many of the stuffed specimens of Cuban flora and fauna date from the 19th century.
