Revolution Museum (Havana)
The Revolution Museum ( Spanish Museo de la Revolución ) in Havana is housed in the premises of the former presidential palace. The building was built by the architects Carlos Maruri from Cuba and Paul Belau (from Belgium) in the historicist style and first moved in 1920 by President Mario García Menocal . After the expulsion of President Fulgencio Batista , it was dedicated to its current purpose. It now shows memorabilia of the Cuban revolution , including the famous Granma boat .
