Cuba's National Arts School

Havana, May 4 (RHC)-- The Villa Manuela Art Gallery of the National Association of Writers and Artists (UNEAC) has opened a photo exhibition of contemporary Havana architectural gems.

Due to the complex epidemiological situation in the Cuban capital, the doors of gallery remain closed to visitors, but the exhibition is available on the websites of the gallery and of UNEAC and on the platforms of both institutions on social media.

Entitled ‘Contemporary Havana: 20 essential works’ by architects Eduardo Luis Rodríguez and Mirtha García invites viewers to appreciate 20 modern constructions in the City, by an equal number of architects, built between the 1940s and 70s.
