"On April 17, 1961, the United States initiated the invasion of Cuba, the one that fundamentally organized through a mercenary brigade, but support in a direct form through the navy and air force of that country. The aggression was born during the government of President Dwight Eisenhower and was taken the the extreme by the administration of John F. Kennedy."

"What the imperialists cannot forgive us for is that we formed a socialist revolution right under the nose of the US."

"What is Revolution? Revolution is: having a sense of the historical moment; changing everything that should be changed; equality and plain liberties; be treated and treat others like human beings; emancipating ourselves with our own efforts; challenge powerful dominating forces within and outside of the social and national scope; defend values in which the price of whatever sacrifice is created; modesty, unselfishness, altruism; solidarity and heroism; fight for audacity, intelligence, and realism; never lie nor violate ethical principles; a profound conviction that there are no forces in the world capable of smashing the truth and ideas. Revolution is unity, independence, fighting for our dreams and justice for Cuba and for the world, which is the base of our patriotism, our socialism, and our internationalism."

So you learn that there's a museum, what's in it, and some Cuban history.
