Tens of objects can be admired in the second oldest museum in the country, thanks to personal arrangements made by Don Emilio Bacardi Moreau. The exhibited objects include mummies of different origin, including an Egyptian one. An outstanding element is that it houses the most important painting gallery in Cuba, displaying an enviable collection of colonial painting dating back two centuries.

Its Caribbean identity is evident in its popular music and in folklore manifestations. It depicts the title of Heroine City of the Republic of Cuba for the role carried out by its inhabitants in the revolutionary struggle during the decade of 1950. Privileged by its historical past, in Santiago de Cuba there are two of the Cuban places distinguished by UNESCO with the title of World Heritage: the San Pedro de la Roca Castle and the ruins of the first French coffee plantations in La Gran Piedra. The Santa Ifigenia cemetery , the 26 of July Historical Museum and the Siboney Farm, are places indissolubly linked to the history of Cuba.

For those who arrive in Santiago de Cuba, there are diverse lodging options in the city and in its surroundings, linked as much to the sea as to nature. With a variety of categories and levels of comfort, it will always be a guarantee for the visitors looking for harmony and soothing rest. There are other things, among so many, that make people from Santiago proud: to be the birthplace, par excellence, of almost all the musical genres of Cuba, a country where the music is soul and root; also, the carnivals that every month of July take place here, are the most spectacular in the country; as well as their rum, the well-known Fiestas del Fuego and the already traditional Festival of the Caribbean.
The region of Santiago de Cuba has the necessary infrastructure to encourage tourism of events and congresses; it also has in its mountainous and seafaring environment the conditions to develop nature and adventure tourism, trekking, nautical activities, and health tourism. But there is nothing better than walk its undulating and narrow streets loaded with history and music at the same time.

Bacardi Museum
Founded in 1899, the Museo Municipal Emilio Bacardi Moreau was one of the country's first museums and is housed in a magnificent colonial mansion, where it depicts the years between the arrival of the conquistadors and the War of Independence with Spain. Exhibits include weapons and African artefacts, historic Cuban and European art works, and an Egyptian mummy famously unearthed in Cuba. Directly opposite is the Gobierno Provincial, an equally impressive building and a good point of reference.
“Museum RUM ”
Kind of boring - yet pretty cool -I know an oxy-moron; however, once you're home, you want to tell people that you were there. The history and the building are interesting.
“Interesting and large painting display ”
Worth a visit to see the local history displays and the mummies. Small but not expensive, as usual not well laid out and descriptions in Spanish but some interesting displays and large selection of paintings upstairs in the Bacardi building in center of Santiago.
