Fusterlandia is a dreamy folk art kingdom, similar to the work of Gaudi in Barcelona. Its hours of operation are from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The entrance is free, but there are beautiful tiles for sale at 30 CUC. It is located in Jaimanita, just 20 minutes from Havana. The site was first started around 20 years ago by José Fuster. Since then, it has expanded to an entire neighborhood of public art, with its wondrous mosaic tile and Gaudi inspired figures. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Fuster’s house. His house is covered in mosaic tiles of every color and description. Surrounding the house are sculptures of the same style and technique. From there, the neighborhood is a mishmash of spiraling walkways, rippling pools, and sunburst fountains. I look forward to making a visit to this super cool melting pot of art. I think it would be a very unique experience. Here are some pictures!
