Historical
Museum of Sciences Carlos J. Finlay
Heir of the Royal Academy of Medical and Natural Sciences,
as well as of its collection and building, the Historical
Museum of Sciences Carlos J. Finlay exhibit the antecedents
of the Cuban scientific history, the history of the Havana
Royal Academy of Sciences, and a 19th century pharmacy
and laboratory.
Its library lodges more than 95,000 volumes, including
scientific manuscripts of the 19th century and several
objects pertaining to the Dr Finlay. The building was
declared historical monument, since great events have
been developed under its ceilings, such as the presentation
of the Dr Carlos Finlay thesis about his discovery of
the vector of the yellow fever, or the public presentation
of Albert Einstein in its visit to the island.
