Mexican Museum Dedicated to Remember Growing of Seeds of Cuban Revolution New China TV
go to original August 13, 2016

Tuxpan, the port city in Mexico’s southeastern state of Veracruz, has been very lucky to witness the very beginning of the Cuban revolution.

In November 1956, Fidel Castro, his younger brother Raul Castro, their comrade Ernesto Guevara as well as some other revolutionaries departed from Tuxpan on a yacht named Granma, heading to Cuba to carry on with their guerilla war, until securing the power in 1959.

Nowadays, people learn about these snippets of history at the Mexican-Cuban Friendship Museum, through a full range of photos, murals, models and written materials.

Local people view the museum as a "mute witness" to the socialist pursuit almost 60 years ago, when Fidel Castro took temporary shelter here to hatch new strategy and learn guerilla tactics.

The museum was then the house where the Cuban revolutionaries met to plan the coup against the regime of U.S.-supported dictator Fulgencio Batista, with one of the rooms the weapons they would use.

Among the exhibited objects, the replica of Yacht Granma attracts the most attention, which has been valued as the vehicle to load the revolutionary ideas of Cuba.

Most visitors to the museum are foreigners.

In November, a special event will be held at the venue to commemorate its decades of existence and the significance it means for the Cuban revolution.
