The cooperation began long before the recent thaw in U.S.-Cuban relations.

The Bronx Museum calls it the most ambitious art exchange between U.S. and Cuban museums in more than 50 years.

Some 100 works from the Bronx Museum will be on view in Havana from May 21 through Aug. 16.

It'll coincide with the 12th Havana Biennial.

In spring 2016, 100 works from the Havana museum will be shown at the Bronx Museum.

Both exhibitions will present works from the 1960s to the present that address identity, urban life and community issues.
