Love how they tell their story from their point of view. However, there are not many things to see in this museum.
Not much art, not many artifacts, some pictures and some military things you can see from outside. If I could do it again I'd spend that 8CUC on something else.

This is a, "can skip" for me.

Beautiful restored building. It is so cool that you can still see old bullets on the wall.
I love how their story is so different from what’s understood in the states.
Highly recommend to study Cuban / Che history before going there.
It can be quite hot inside

What an interesting jewel of a place. We learned so much here. We walked away with a lot of questions and wanting to know more. Definitely a must-go to for Americans and anyone who doesn't know the Cuban history.

Beautifully restored building with bullet holes left in the facade on the back of the building from the revolution. We did not go inside as we were stretching our budget fairly thin to begin with but there is enough to see around the building to still make it worth it.

Be sure to check out behind the building where decommissioned Russian jets and missiles are on display and are clearly visible from the sidewalk.

Definitely worth checking out. The Museo has very detailed exhibits relaying the events of the revolution as they unfolded and the lives of the men and women who participated. It also goes on to describe the positive effects of the revolution on the people of Cuba (as the government sees them anyway) and is full of information that was brand new to me. The yacht Granma and the military hardware outback is pretty striking as well.

Probably the best preserved/kept building/museum in Havana we saw (but it is still quite run down and under permanent renovation). Exhibits and story are interesting even as there are only a few things brought into the museum after the year 1990. And expect a big "Che" section. All in all an interesting museum but expect quite a high enterance ticket price of 8 CUC/USD per person

..It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be visiting here to see how Proud the Cuban People are of what they have accomplished through the Leadership of Fidel Castro! They proud of the little they had on their side to accomplish such a great thing! And right here you can witness and see what they used as they put it on display for the world whoever get to Cuba to see! This is a must visit place to see when in Cuba!..

All the exhibits were subtitled in English. The museum is clean, bright and airy. There is a coat check and no water is allowed inside. Make sure to check out the "Wall of Cretins" about American presidents!

Beautiful museum! Loved all of the art inside. My fiance lost his wallet as we were walking through the museum and the security was very calm and did as much as they could to find it. And we DID! How lucky.

If you are going without a knowledgeable guide, you will be lost. Like many Cuban historical sights and museums, there is very little information provided about what you are looking at. It is expensive for what it is, but if you have a knowledgeable guide, it is a good place to visit to learn about the history of the revolution and see some of the machines and other artifacts from that time.

You are going to Cuba.. You should be a bit interested in what is housed here. Some renovations are in progress. They are some English translations.(I guess there will never be an end to some people from English speaking countries expecting the rest of the world to cater to their language.)
They are stairs to climb.
It is not too crowded an hour or two before closing.
Staff is courteous.
If you know all there is to know of {Cuban}history then don't waste your time, matter of fact, just cut up your passport into tiny pieces and never renew.
Worth a visit.

If you are offened by "them" not liking Americans all the time - don't go - there are digs against the US here and there. That having been said, it is really interesting to see photos and artifacts of times, places, events. Sadly for English only speakers this is a primarily Spanish only museum (i was lucky and had a local friend take me around). Not very modern/updated - which somehow makes it feel more authentic.
When else/where else will you be able to see this?

Very informative, reasonably priced, not air conditioned so don't go middle of the day.

The entry is 8cuc, and that's not too bad. There is a bag check that's mandatory. The museum is mostly informational boards with photos and news stories. There are not a lot of physical objects. The bathrooms, like most of cuba, lack toilet seats or paper.

It's an awesome place to visit. It shows another side of the story we all know but some of the information have to be taken with a grain of salt. It is quite interesting to see how a totalitarian regime is portraying the revolution and how the rest of the world is being described. My favorite part of the museum was the wall of cretins.

The main building didn't really cater for non-Spanish speakers very well, an audio tour would probably make it very interesting. The vehicles outside were more interesting but it would be better to understand the story behind each one. It was more interesting to watch the dance lessons in the empty rooms and courtyard.

It was interesting to read and see the revolution from the Cuban perspective. A great many of the exhibits had English subtitles as well to make it easier to understand. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Havana.

The coolest part of the museum is the newer outdoor exhibit showing the "GRANMA" yacht, the farm-made tanks, trucks, aircraft, and vehicles. You can see this area from the street if you are purely interested in aesthetics, however the plaques are worth reading in this area. The main building of the museum is beautiful, but the exhibit itself needs major updating and re-translating. One of the elevators is permanently out of service.

To an American, the most interesting part of the interior exhibit is about the relations between the US and Cuba and all that has transpired. This is only part of one room, and a mural paying homage to many of our republican presidents, crediting these "cretinos" for the roles they played in aiding the Cuban socialist cause.

$8 CUC is a steep price for the quality of the interior exhibit and the size of the exterior exhibit. There is also a hidden unadvertised fee in the mandatory bag-checking. So, don't bring a bag or be prepared to pay this "fee." You'll need to pay the fee in order to get your bag back.

Definitely download google translate with the Spanish package so you can translate the images. Works really well.

The place is mesmerising.

It will tell you the story from the side of the Cuban government. In in the you might get convinced by their cause. You need to speak at least a bit of Spanish to understand something.

A stirring shrine the Cuban Revolution. The yacht, Granma, was the most moving to me. It sits in a glass pavilion on the museum property. The museum collection is a shrine to the audacious success of the Cuban revolution.

The collection needs updating. The displays are a bit dated in subject and presentation. However, a visit is both enlightening and compelling. The dramatic story of the revolution is told through mostly interesting artifacts.

If one visits Havana and skips this museum, I wonder if you have been to Havana at all.
