Ernest Hemingway Museum in Havana, Cuba
Guide to Ernest Hemingway Museum
There are many important museums in the city of Havana and one of the most popular of these is the Ernest Hemingway Museum (also known as the Museo Ernest Hemingway). Located in a villa previously owned by the writer himself, villa Finca Vigia was purchased in the year 1949 by Ernest Hemingway, where he spent a large part of his life thereafter.
The Finca Vigia was the birthplace of many of Hemingway’s best works, including For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, and is a fitting location for the museum. The Museo Ernest Hemingway is located in the area known as San Francisco de Paula, which is situated 
around 15 kilometres away from the center of the city. It can easily be accessed using the Carretera Central motorway.
The museum features a number of possessions of the author as well as a library containing the author’s original collection of books. The Museo Ernest Hemingway has been preserved exactly as the author had left it, giving visitors an insight into the life and times of this Nobel Laureate.
The museum is open to the general public, with an entrance fee of $3 which is collected at the venue. The museum timings are normally from 10 am to 4 pm from Monday to Saturday and from 9 am to 1 pm on Sunday.
