Hello travelers of the @worldmappin community!
Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you an exhibition that is somewhat different from what I usually publish on my blog. This week, I dedicated my time to visiting the Simón Reyes Provincial Museum, a historical heritage site in my city of Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. It is considered one of the most emblematic constructions of 19th-century colonial architecture.
Come along on this journey—let’s savor the adventure together!
---
First of all, when you enter the museum you are attended by two very polite ladies who write you down in a visitors' book 📖, where you leave your signature as a trace of your encounter.
The doors are open to the public from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm and on Sundays until noon 12:00 pm. The entrance fee is 2 pesos national currency, but if you are under 18 years old or a student you do not pay.

This jewel was inaugurated on March 13, 1983. The building is mustard yellow with a typical Avila porch, colonial style buildings, with fabulous roofs, Creole tiles, cast iron railings with hierarchical mode and lucetas in the front and side windows that elegantly guard the premises. Many parts of the floor in the interior are mosaics of their time, and have never been modified.
---
Before becoming a museum, it was firstly, according to historians, where the Military Command of the Júcaro to Morón Trail was located (👀 I will explain this part step by step later on).
The name is related to a patriot of the province, who joined the struggles for independence at a very young age (10 years old), participating in several wars for the sovereignty of Cuba 🇨🇺, who was killed and known as "El Águila de la Trocha" (The Eagle of the Trail).
The center has monthly teaching services, lectures, conferences, cultural extensions and animation activities 🧾, with their specific days and established schedules.

¿Qué secretos se esconde tras sus muros?
Bueno, dentro del museo se encuentran seis salas cuyos temas se reparten en: arqueología, colonia, república, logros de la revolución y sincretismo religioso.
---
The room we will cover in the first meeting is: Archaeology, where I will make a tour of the valuable Mesoamerican and Cuban aboriginal archaeological collections, highlighting the pieces of area "Los Buchillones", an exceptional site, located northwest of the province.
---
The first part of the room covers the contributions of the first Mesoamerican cultures, which the nation of Mexico donated to the museum. These ancient cultures, very advanced, were rich in crafts, sculptures, geometric paintings and images of gods, characterized by the carving of stones in their works, in addition to their interesting politics and religions.
---
Ídolos Antropomorfo y Antropozoomorfo, Son esculturas talladas en piedras preciosas de la cultura mesoamericana, con sus ojos, rasgos diferentes y detalles únicos del arte prehistórico. Combinan características humanas y animales.
Muy creativos estos primeros habitantes ¿no crees!🤔
---
The following showcase exhibits objects, fragments and craft cultures belonging to inhabitants settled in Mesoamerican areas. With classic ceramic objects, both religious and particular of them, which impresses how curious they work art for their time.
---
This glazed piece of furniture was the one that struck me the most, it shows a reduced head of this tribe in South America, corresponding to a young warrior of 14 and 15 years old. The curious thing 🧐 is to see how they sewed their mouths and got to the level of reducing their skull. Interesting!
---
These two showcases that I will show you are instruments designed by the aboriginal communities of Cuba 🇨🇺, also donated to the museum exhibition by several provinces of the nation.
---
Dyeing stones, mortars and pestle and pestle stones, These tools were used to grind certain semi-soft materials, taking advantage of edible resources of plant and animal origin.
---
Handmade picks made with conch shells (Strombus gigas) 🐚
It shows how these aborigines manufactured through large sea shells artifacts with sharp edges, used to percuss also different materials.
---
In this second part of the room we will cover everything related to one of the most interesting archaeological sites of the insular Caribbean given its abundant and unusual evidence in wood. Located on the north coast of the province of Ciego de Avila, in the Buena Vista Bay, near the town of Punta Alegre.
From the museographic point of view, the moat, bone carvings, stones, ceramics, shells, religious and fertility idols, petaloid axes, necklaces, amulets, pendants, among many more interesting artifacts, where an excavation is simulated, and the evidence is exhibited, part of them as they appeared under water in the late nineties of the twentieth century.
---
The following images show the findings at the site:
On the upper floor, a spacious gallery offering artifacts, and the detailed moat with evidence found on the north coast about the life of the settled Tainos.
---
Pendants, earrings and shell gouges
These gouges were nothing more than tools used to cut trees and make woodworking easier.
---
These pottery shards were once artifacts such as pots, pots, bowls, bowls and other religious vessels.
---
These wooden objects, according to the museologist, were used for sexual intercourse and ceremonial seats highlighting sexual tributes. I was laughing with the girl when it came to explaining 😄😄😄😄 jjj.
---
Handled axes, burins and petaloid axes
These instruments were used for hunting, fishing, religious rites and as defense weapons.
---
Already in the culmination of this walk through the history that focuses the aboriginal settlement in my city. These samples of very hard flint rocks that are fragmented into cutting blades, suitable for carving, making the aforementioned knives, burins, arrowheads, etc..
