Near Havana, Cuba we were speechless at Fusterlandia. This is the home of Jose Rodriguez Fuster,
Entrance to Fusterlandia
affectionately referred to as Fuster. Fuster, a Cuban from a small fishing village, is an artist.
About 30 years ago Fuster started remaking his home and his neighborhood.

He spent time in Europe and was inspired by Gaudi in Barcelona (La Familia Sagrada and Casa Batllo) and by Brancusi in Romania. I want to share some photos of Fusterlandia with you.

What a clock
All this artwork exhausts me. I am just a little duck
According to www.havana-cultura.com more than 80 neighbors have allowed Fuster to use their homes as his canvas.
He puts his art everywhere
This is an unforgettable neighborhood.
Mom and I saw some little boys with their moms. We asked the moms if we could give them small high bounce balls and butterscotch candy. Moms said yes and the boys were happy. One of our friends had a baseball to give the boys. Cuban people love baseball. Making people happy is fun!
Fuster sells much of his work and much of that money he puts back into the neighborhood.

We were amazed and really liked Fusterlandia. We hope you will visit Fusterlandia when you are in Havana. It is really a place to see.

Wow. That looks time consuming. I know this may sound shallow but I looked up Brancusi and he’s handsome
Handsome is always good and never shallow. We must always enjoy the scenery. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I will be visiting in a few weeks and will be staying in Havana. This is the first place I’d like to see. Do you know how far it is from the center of Havana? Also, do you have any tips on how to get there? Thanks so much!!
I really don’t know how far Fusterlandia is from downtown. Sorry. I was on a tour through Friendly Planet, so we were taken by bus, with guides, to all the destinations. It was a wonderful trip. I will be jealously thinking of you while you are there. Enjoy it all!
