The main fine arts gallery of Matanzas province, housed in a colonial building near the Plaza de la Vigía. The gallery presents rotating exhibitions of Cuban paintings, prints, and sculpture, with a focus on artists from Matanzas province. The permanent collection includes works from the 19th and 20th centuries, and the gallery hosts occasional openings and cultural events.
Named after a Matanzas-born artist, the gallery is small enough to visit in under an hour but worth doing if you're spending more than a day in the city. The building's interior courtyard is attractive in its own right. Check current exhibition details at the door.
