Museo de los Orishas

Created by, and housed in the headquarters of, the Asociación Cultural Yoruba de Cuba, this museum is dedicated to santería and features sculptures representing the different Afro-Cuban orishas (saint-gods) and is the first of its kind in the world. Although its collection consists mostly of African-style representations, some of the orishas have been set in Cuban sceneries. Given that Museo de Los Orishas is a bona fide NGO, it depends on its own income and charges more than state-run museums.
