museo provincial general ignacio agramonte

We spent more than 2 hours visiting this gem of a museum. It is very big and it has almost everything that one would like to find about the city and Cuba as a whole. The staff was very helpfuland was not in your face waiting for a tip. Beautiful grounds anda nice collection of paintings.

This is an interesting museum with a range of furniture, porcelain and art ranging from the early 19th century through to some modern art by Victor Garcia.

This museum is housed in a former military headquarters well north of the centre of the historic area, a bit out of the way – probably why we were the only visitors for the 45 minutes we were there. Although it is a large complex, there are a limited number of exhibitions and no signage – one area serves as an art gallery, one area is set up like the commanders residence (we guess), and a bunch of old furniture lines a cavernous hall. The rest of the halls and rooms are closed to the public. Security staff was a strange bunch – there were three of them closely following us through the art exhibition, so close we risked bump into them when we stepped back to admire the art. They left us when we entered the commander’s residence and another security guard took over, closely following us through those rooms (while two others stayed posted at the door). Later at the bottom of the stairs, three more guards were gathered in the lobby, directing us away from closed sections. Overall, not much to see, no explanation of what was on display, and annoying security make this one a miss, even if it costs only two convertible pesos to get in.

This is one of the best museums in Cuba. The front facade belies the style of the interior. Surrounding a large courtyard/garden are rooms full of items from old mansions, classical art, and a modest natural history section. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Camaguey.

Ideal para conocer un poco más de la cultura Camagueyana. Cuenta con una belleza natural con sus patio y sus salones.

Todos los que nos hablaban del lugar lucían le orgullo del tener un sitio como este en su ciudad. La ciudad no es muy grande, sin embargo el museo tiene dos grandes virtudes: Es muy completo, conteniendo pabellones de historia natural, pintura, historia de decoración local.. y la ambientación del patio y la entrada están asombrosamente bien establecidas por un serio trabajo de conservación. Sugerimos no dejar de visitar esta pequeña joya.

Quand nous sommes arrivés il n'y avait plus de billets et il a fallu insister pour visiter quand même . Heureusement qu'une charmante dame nous a finalement accompagnés . Elle était passionnée par Agramonte , sa femme ,leur vie .Et , elle a fait de ce musée simple un lieu d'émotion .Nous sommes ressortis ravis ! merci charmante dame.
