  • Cultural Exchange to Cuba Tuesday, October 25 Through Tuesday, November 1, 2016
    Cultural Exchange to Cuba Tuesday, October 25 through Tuesday, November 1, 2016 Join the Newark Museum on a fascinating 7 day/6 night trip to Cuba. The island remains a mystery to all but the most adventurous Americans. The Newark Museum is once again collaborating with Cuba Cultural Travel, a US based tour company. The emphasis of the trip will be cultural interaction with the Cuban people. Cuba has a rich and varied heritage dating back to colonial times. We will be hosted by a variety of local scholars and artists who will offer in-depth commentary on art, history, architecture and religion. Our expert guides will give us a privileged “behind the scenes view” seldom granted to American visitors. The vibrant contemporary art scene will play a prominent role in our itinerary and we plan on meeting artists, visiting studios, museums, galleries and art schools. Representing the Newark Museum on this trip is our own Chief Curator and Curator of Decorative Arts, Ulysses Grant Dietz. We know that he will add a depth of knowledge and insight and fun and will enhance your experience. Havana offers a treasure trove of architectural styles that few cities can match. From Colonialism to Modernism, the city has benefited from the fact many neighborhoods have remained unchanged for generations. Music is omnipresent in Havana and our schedule will satisfy all tastes. From Latin Jazz to the sounds of the Buena Vista Social Club, music is never far away as you walk the streets of Old Havana. We invite you to join us and take advantage of this unique opportunity to explore Cuba before the inevitable changes take place.
