  • Saturday, January 20 – Friday, January 26 – Cuba: Art, Culture, & History

    This winter join the Royal Oak Foundation in historic Havana on January 20 – 26, 2024 to explore the island’s fascinating heritage. Just 90 miles from the United States yet seemingly a world away, Cuba captivates visitors with its colorful art and architecture, soul-stirring music and dance, and complex, fascinating history. Cuba also has a strong British connection dating to the 18th century, when British troops conquered Havana from the Spanish and established the island as a profitable trading hub.

    Go behind the scenes at some of Cuba’s top museums and exclusive spaces, including special access to a private rehearsal at the nation’s leading dance company. We’ll be traveling in support of the Cuban people, experiencing the country through the eyes of its warm and welcoming citizens. You will be introduced to some of Cuba’s most intriguing creators in their private homes and at special meals.

    There are only a few places remaining, so book your spot today. To view the brochure, click https://www.royal-oak.org//srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ROF_Cuba_0120_BrochureJan.pdf
