The museum is considered the second most important museum of decorative arts in Cuba, after the one in Havana, due to its unique style, a splendid collection of furniture, paintings and objects from some of the wealthiest families in the area.

Visitors can find the museum, which opened its doors in 1987, next to the Teatro La Caridad (La Caridad Theater) and near the Parque Leoncio Vidal (Leoncio Vidal Park) in the centre of the city.
