Exactly What it Should Be!
This is probably one of the best museums you can see in all of Havana. Don't go expecting a fancy, big budget museum with modern air conditioning and 21st Century multimedia presentations. It's the history of the Cuban revolution, man! Yes, the building is old, yes, there's mediocre ventilation, yes, there are basic cut and dry displays behind glass cases, but that's exactly the point! It captures the idealism and the spirit of what the communist revolution was all about. You can see everything from classical propaganda paintings and bronze busts of the party heroes to guns and uniforms and maps of the period. The entrance fee was reasonable, even for tourists, and I spent all afternoon there, taking many pictures. I found it to be a highlight of my trip. There's even a wax figure of Che Guevara in the jungle there! Amazing once in a lifetime opportunity! Do not miss!
