Museum
of the Revolution and Granma Memorial
Museums and Art Galleries - Old City of Havana Regions of Cuba - Travel Guide The luxurious mansion that was the residence of the President of the Republic between 1920 and 1960 now plays host to the Museum of the Revolution, devoted to the national rebellion of the Cuban people. Its halls feature a detailed panorama of the country's struggles for national sovereignty, providing a historical discourse supported by abundant testimonial material, including photographs, original documents, mock-ups, weapons, personal belongings of revolutionary fighters, recordings, videos and films. Adjacent to the Museum is the "Granma Memorial," an immense glass case containing the yacht used by Fidel Castro and over 80 revolutionary fighters to return to Cuba from their exile in Mexico. The landing took place on December 2, 1957, at a point on the southern coast of Oriente Province, and this marked the beginning of the Liberation War in the Sierra Maestra Mountains. Collections:
