It seemed bizarre to find a museum about Napoleon in Havana (I still need to investigate how that came about), but the building is absolutely stunning and in good shape and would be a reason by itself to visit! The secluded garden is also a little treasure in the busy city. Nicely decorated 19th century rooms and different artefacts from the Napoleonic era. There was not an entrance fee but we were probably the only visitors (April 2022). We were however asked to store our bags in the storeroom and could not take them in the museum. The staff was friendly and helpful, and as in many places, provided us with hand sanitizer. There appeared to be another floor that was not open during our visit. There was a small antique looking elevator, but I'm not sure if it was operational.

The Napoleon Museum in Havana, Cuba houses one of the most important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries preserved in the Western hemisphere. The Museum (in San Miguel Street, between Ronda and Mazón, on one side of the University of Havana) reopened in March 2011 after a three-year restoration by the City Historian’s Office. You'll find inside Napoleon's bed, paintings, outfits and armory.

Foi uma inusitada e agradável visita. Há muito tempo um cubano (ricasso) era fanático por Napoleão e colecionava peças. Sua coleção virou um museu. Há todo tipo de objetos da era napoleônica, desde soldados de chumbo incrivelmente preservados, salas, uniformes, armas e afins até o próprio dente, escova e relógio do Napoleão. O museu está ao lado da universidade de Havana e vale a pena conferir.

Simply stunning array of Napoleononic stuff. If my pathetic Spanish was correct, the second best array outside France? Beautiful!

Una experiencia maravillosa. Los objetos que ahí se exponen son de alto valor histórico y artístico. Me impresionó hasta la presencia de un molar de Napoleón Bonaparte. La edificacion tiene alto grado de conservación. El trato de su personal fue exquisito, ellos estaban al pendiente de cualquier duda.
