The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts) in Havana is a must-see for art aficionados. It ranks 6th in the list of best places to visit in Havana. The renovated Palacio del Centro Asturiano, constructed by Manuel Bustos in the 1920s, holds European masterworks as well as a collection of over 600 works of ancient art dating from the Egyptian through Roman eras. The Rationalist-style Palacio de Bellas Artes edifice, which dates from 1959, is dedicated to Cuban art from the 17th century to the current day.

The museum now has two buildings, one dedicated to Cuban art in the Palacio de Bellas Artes and one to universal art in the Palacio del Centro Asturiano. The Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) is solely dedicated to displaying Cuban art collections. The Palacio del Centro Asturiano, designed by Manuel Bustos in 1927, displays European paintings and sculptures, as well as an antique art collection. An outstanding collection of paintings, prints, and sculptures may be found here. The one-of-a-kind marble sculpture "Form, Space, and Light" at the museum's entry is one of the attractions.
