Named (like half of Camagüey) after the exalted local War of Independence hero, this cavernous museum, just north of the train station, is in a building erected in 1848 as a Spanish cavalry barracks. It now contains some impressive artwork, including much by Camagüey natives like Fidelio Ponce, besides antique furniture and old family heirlooms.
The upstairs art collection features many Camagüey artists: there is both 19th- and early 20th-century art such as the haunting work of camagüeyano Fidelio Ponce, and artes plasticos (modern art) by nationally renowned figures like Alfredo Sosabravo.
