About the place

Museum of the Revolution presents the documented history of the Cuban revolutionary conflict in Havana.

Museum of the Revolution functions as Havana's principal exhibition site dedicated to Cuban political history. The institution maintains permanent displays of documentary evidence, state archives, and historical objects related to the insurrection. Researchers working in the capital encounter an institutional environment focused strictly on official historical chronology rather than rotating modern exhibits.
