Museo Napoleonico

The Napoleonic Museum in Cuba is the happy result of the combination of the personal collections of Julio Lobo and Orestes Ferrara. The artifacts and memorabilia on exhibition were bought at auction during the first half of the 20th century and represent the most important Napoleonic collection in Central America. The collection itself was declared a 'National Heritage' in 1960 and, with the revolutionary government's blessing, the museum was opened to the public in the following year.
