Lonely Planet review for Museo Napoleónico

An anomaly – but an interesting one – is the esoteric Museo Napoleónico situated just outside the university walls. It’s a collection of 7000 objects associated with the life of Napoleon Bonaparte amassed by Cuban sugar baron Julio Lobo and politician Orestes Ferrera. Highlights include sketches of Voltaire, paintings of the battle of Waterloo, china, furniture, an interesting recreation of Napoleon’s study and bedroom, and one of several bronze Napoleonic death masks made two days after the emperor’s death by his personal physician, Dr Francisco Antommarchi.
