Ethnographic
Museum
The building that lodges the Ethnographic Museum once
were the residence of the Santero Mayor of Madruga, a
town near Havana, where the Babalawo, the Priests of the
Santería initiated more than 400 people of all
the country in the arcanes of the Rule of Ocha. Every
September 12 they meet to make one of the greatest processions
of the town, where they go carrying the statue of Our
Lady of Mercy - the Ochun equivalent in the Yoruba pantheon-
to the compass of its dances and their percussion bands.
In the Museum, also known as the Fredi´s House,
can be found in harmonious conjunction religious elements
and art works, in which, according to the experts, is
one of the better collections of the world. Power necklaces
and bracelets, swords, double edged axes, ornamented kettles,
are only some of many religious objects that displays
all the symbolic system of the religious Afro-Cubans rituals.
