The Museum of the Revolution is one of the must-see places in Cuba. Cuba and the revolution are inextricably connected in the minds of every person on a planet.

The building of the museum of the revolution is a sight. It was built as a residence of Cuban rulers in the neoclassical style in 1920. The President of Cuba Armando Menokal had the idea of construction. He spent more than three million US dollars. This money was taken from the treasuries. 

After the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista, the palace turned to the museum. A large number of the mansion's original items were lost, but the collection of mirrors and some glass chandeliers were preserved. Now they are located in the mirror hall. You can admire their beauty and elegance. The museum’s management has even preserved a cabinet of the presidents. There are keeping furniture and decor elements of the 40s.

The museum has more than 30 halls, while the collection of exhibits is more than nine thousand. The expositions tell about the revolution and other important historical events taking place in Cuba since the 15th century. There, you can find clothes, tools, tableware, jewelry, and evidence of the war for independence. 

In the halls of the revolution period, there are documents, posters, and notes, which the revolutionaries gave to each other to tell the news. You also can see life-size plastic figures of the most famous revolutionaries. The museum’s staff put them in a usual setting. There are also presented paintings by local artists depicting historical events of the country.

The museum has a large collection of photos. They depict revolutionaries liberated Cuba from cruel leaders. All these photographs are very touching. They impress with the strength and courage of people involved in the revolution.
