Next door to the Museum of Fine Arts (Cuban Section), the former presidential palace housing this museum dates from 1913, its interior decor sourced from Tiffany's in New York. It became the presidential residence in 1920. The museum charts the history of Cuba from the colonial period to the revolution, with a wealth of photographs, artefacts and documents. However, the dated museography may put off those who are not particularly interested in the history of Cuba.
