Bay of Pigs Museum, Military history museum in Little Havana, Miami, United States

The Bay of Pigs Museum is a military history museum in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood dedicated to the 1961 invasion. It houses artifacts, photographs, documents, and the original Brigade 2506 flag that was presented to President Kennedy.

The museum was inaugurated on April 17, 1986, at 1821 SW 9th Street in Little Havana, with over 400 attendees including politicians, Brigade 2506 veterans and Cuban exiles. In September 1987, state representative Arnhilda Gonzalez-Quevedo presented its founders with $75,000 from the State of Florida for construction. In 2015, veteran and author Frank de Varona withdrew a nomination to register the building as historic after opposition from other veterans.

Former fighters from Brigade 2506 maintain the space and share stories about their lives before and after the operation. Their presence gives the place a deeply personal character rooted in Miami's Cuban exile community.

The museum is located on Southwest 9th Street where visitors can speak directly with invasion veterans who are often present. Plan time for conversations and to absorb the detailed collections throughout the space.

The museum's library holds extensive archives of personal testimonies and military records from Brigade 2506 members, documents rarely found in official historical records. These materials offer unfiltered perspectives on the event that many visitors overlook.
