Museum of the Revolution, National history museum in Old Havana, Cuba.
The Museum of the Revolution is a national history museum in Old Havana housed in a former government building that features columns, decorated facades and high ceilings in Neo-Classical style. Inside, the halls stretch across several floors with wide staircases and corridors that lead from room to room.
The building was constructed between 1913 and 1920 as a presidential palace and housed several governments until 1959. After the revolution, it was opened to the public to document the events of the preceding decades.
The name recalls the political shifts that shaped the country, while the exhibits offer insight into personal stories of those involved. Visitors see uniforms, letters and everyday items that show how people lived and stood up for their beliefs at that time.
The building is located on Calle Refugio 1 in the center of the old quarter and opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. Different admission rates apply depending on the origin of visitors.
A small pavilion next to the main building preserves the sailboat Granma, which brought around eighty men from Mexico to Cuba in 1956. The vessel sits protected under a roof and can be viewed from all sides.
