The massive mansion opposite, nearly as impressive, houses the Casa de efrica, with pelts, drums, costumes, carved figures, and furniture from some 26 African countries, as well as a tantalizing collection of objects related to santeraa, the syncretic Afro-Cuban religion (see page 26; Casa de efrica will likely be closed for renovations until the end of 2000).
Furniture from some 26 African countries can be found in the massive mansion which was owned by a collector.
