museo girón印象
-
We enjoyed the museum. Most interesting part was the description of the area before the revolution. The extreme poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy. Malaria. Things have changed.Some great swimming at the beach and, if you go to the beach just south of the main hotel (Playa Coco), you get great swimming and some nice reefs.If you go to Punta Perdiz you can put on a mask and snorkel and swim out about 200m. Below you will see a sunken US boat. Punta Perdiz has some great swimming and snorkelling (and I bet the diving is amazing because you can explore a lot more than just one boat). But the food is not great.Don't miss the movie!Fidel had the greatest publicists and they attracted some of the greatest filmmakers of the day. They made the documentary about Bay of Pigs. I think it's an extra cuc but worth the small fee.Across the street you can get a good pizza.

This little museum is a real authentic gem. It has information and photos of the Bay of Pigs skirmish between the US and Cuba and is very interesting to see the Cuban slant on the attack. Some of the captions are in English.

Cute but small and run down. We just looked at it from the outside and went to the beach which was amazing (not the one at the Playa Giron hotel! Just keep walking left and you will find a gem)

The museum includes some priceless film footage of the invasion of Giron in 1961. There is also a main area that shows the story of the area. Particularly moving are photos of the desperate poverty that existed for most people in the area in the years before the 1959 revolution.

We visited museum as a group on our roundtrip, and did not have enough time to see everything in our own tempo unfortunately. We think this museum is well-made and is interesting for those who are interested to know more on the topic. Museum is not very large, but a lot of exposition has notes which needs to be read, and it takes time.There is also an exposition of vehicles involved outside in the garden. In this garden we were lucky to see and get a good pictures of Colibri/Hummingbird, which is rather difficult to get a good photo of.

Intersesting museum with lots of articles and weapons of that time. Also old planes.Loads to read!Most of it in Spanish though, but nebertheless interesting!

Definitely worth a stop if you are interested in this sordid chapter in US - Cuba relations. Of course it is the story from the Cuban point of view but this was an invasion backed by the US government by those same people who have kept this embargo going for 55 years. It is informative to note that this was a plan drawn up during the Eisenhower presidency but not executed until three months into Kennedy's presidency. There are those who like myself believe that Kennedy's refusal to follow up on the invasion was the beginning of the plan to assassinate him. Get the info, do some research and judge for yourself.

This is a small but excellent museum displaying the Cuban attitude and approach to the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1963. It describes the then poverty of the area and the approach of the Cuban Army to defend their island. It contains an airplane used in the defense and numerous weapons from machine guns to howitzers. Many of the heros of the day have their photograph displayed.

Quite an interesting museum, lots of into on the Bay of Pigs invasion and all that. You can probably get round this in about 30 minutes. Some of the things on display are shocking (someone's cap with a bullet hole)

Great, very nice people work there. Cheap and a lot information about this special place. There are tanks and a airplane in the front of the museum.
