According to the Fusterlandia website, In 1975, after moving into a modest wood house in the rundown neighborhood of Jaimanitas outside Havana, Jose Fuster set about decorating his studio in colorful mosaic. Once he was done there, he asked his neighbors if he could decorate their homes and business as well. A few accepted his offer and the tile creations grew. Over the course of a decade, doctors’ offices, bus stops, fountains, benches, gateways, and more were enveloped by Fuster’s whimsical imagination. Today, his artwork coats the neighborhood in a rainbow of strange, enchanting fantasy. Travel to Cuba can be challenging, but if you get a chance to visit Havana, don't miss Futurlandia. Set aside at least a couple of hours.
