The Casa de las Américas cultural center in Havana is finalizing details today for its August program, highlighted by its role as a secondary venue for the 34th International Book Fair.

The event will take place from Monday, August 10, through Friday, August 14, at the institution's headquarters in the Vedado neighborhood—a space that gathers publishing houses, writers, and readers each summer, according to the official schedule.

Additionally, on Wednesdays, August 5 and 12, the Manuel Galich Hall will host guided tours titled "A House for the Americas," offering walkthroughs of the exhibition "The Century of Fidel."

The exhibition, comprising pieces from the Haydee Santamaría Art of Our America Collection, pays tribute to the centennial of the birth of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro.

The conclusion of the summer course "Museum Objects: Materials and Conservation Diagnosis" will take place on Tuesday, August 4, at the Mariano Gallery, also in Vedado.

The training was led by Professor Manuel Rolando Almeida from the Faculty of Conservation Arts at the University of the Arts.

All activities, the institution noted, are free and open to the public.
