The Finca Vigía Foundation has received permission to begin shipping materials from the U.S. to Cuba in order to start construction on a climate-controlled conservation laboratory known as El Taller (The Workshop) for the purposes of restoring and preserving documents at the Hemingway home and museum. El Taller will be one of the first construction projects based in Cuba and built with U.S. supplies since the embargo. This project has also been supported by donations from American Express, AT&T, and Caterpillar.
