Museo Romántico

Museo Romántico (Palacio Brunet)

A 19th-century mansion beside Plaza Mayor. It displays imported European furniture, porcelain, and crystal, showing the luxurious life of the sugar aristocracy.

The Palacio Brunet was built in the early 19th century and once belonged to the Count of Brunet family. It is now the Romantic Museum, and more than ten rooms are furnished as they once were, with French porcelain, Italian marble, Bohemian crystal chandeliers, and mahogany furniture. It's the best place to understand the aristocratic life of Trinidad's golden age of sugar. The second-floor balcony overlooks the square. Admission is a few Cuban pesos, and it is often closed on Mondays. Flash photography is prohibited inside, and some rooms charge an extra fee for photos.
