格瓦拉博物馆

This museum has excellent displays of mementos, diaries,and photos of Che Guevara`s life. A lot of the information is in English and Spanish, but there could be more. It is always interesting and useful to get a full picture of how a life was lived, what were the influences, and why someonelike Che would dedicate his life to revolution. This museum does just that.

Awestruck. This is free to see. I got a horse drawn taxi for one CUC back to the centre of Santa Clara

Memorial, or Ernesto Guevara Sculpture Complex in Santa Clara is a huge intense emotional monument, which consists of three parts - the monumental Statue of Ernesto Che Guevara in the middle of the large square, the Mausoleum of Che and his 29 comrades, and Museum of Che.Monumental Statue is 7 meters high and made of bronze, standing on the 15 meters high pedestal of granite, statue is oriented towards the place of death of Che Guevara. The Statue is surrounded by 4 stelae with bas-reliefs showing moments of Che life, one of them representing his farewell letter to Fidel Castro. There is always a guard standing by the statue and overlooking the area.The Museum has entrance on the back side of memorial, unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures there. Museum shows a personal items, letters and photos of Che, and explaining his different roles in Cuba as Guerrillero, Comandante and Stateman.The Mausoleum has entrance on the same place, there can be visited the graves of Ernesto Guevara and his 29 comrades. It was opened in 1997.

Liked the personal effects and pictures. It is actually combined with the mausoleum. Wished that there was more English comments but I got most of it with my limited Spanish.

Che`s museum, his personal items, clothes, hand written notes, photos etc...and his remains that was brought to Cuba some years ago from Bolivian village with his 21 comrades ...It was a really nice, little museum and the second part where the their remains are located thoroughly emotional.. Che is a real hero who died for his dreams to help people all around the world....They think they killed him, but he will never be forgotten....

both museum and memorial ate at the same location with two different entrances. visit the museum first.Lots of memorablia and pictures from the time of the revolution.the memorial is not only for Che. Thos who died with him when overwhelmed in Bolivia.For photographers: go in the evening for pictures. since the light is then great and shines on the standing Che statue.but careful: the museums closes at 5 PM . it opens at 9:30.

Rather daunting- food for thought in many ways. Visitors are expected to be silent as the go around the rooms inside, also not to touch, take photos or show any disrespect.This is a sign of the massive respect/ love that Cuban people have for him and his contribution. Well worth the visit and very informative about his life and the part played in his death by the CIA- they have much to answer for.

There is awesome lot of information to understand, how Che is related to Cuba. An important step during your visit.

We made a visit here as part of a three city tour. The Che Guevara Mausoleum and Museum, which it should really be called, was very interesting and worth the trip to Santa Clara. There are no photos allowed in the mausoleum or museum. Outside, the Che Guevara statue on top of the monument is fairly striking, and worthy of several photos.

A place where we had to make a pilgrimage. A giant square reminiscent of Independence Square in Kiev or Red Square, Moscow. Built in 1987 to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Che’s murder in Bolivia by the CIA. A giant, powerful bronze statue of Che towers over the square, whilst below in an air-conditioned mausoleum, 38 graves of Che’s men are tastefully carved from stone, contrasting seamlessly with a beautiful wooden montage suspended from the ceiling. Next door a fascinating museum, complete with many artefacts and evocative black and white photographs. You can feel the charisma of this man and in a strange sort of way, somebody I would have liked to have met. Definitely worth a visit.

It was a special place to visit. Che Guevara remains are there now. The large bronze statute outside is amazing.

How can you not visit Che's museum? A man also responsible for the shaping of Cuba and an icon for revolution around the world. The museum is not very big but it has some extraordinary and rare photos and personal belongings of Che. The mausoleum has a very intense atmosphere and you can see the graves of Che and of his comrades in Bolivia. The statue outside is immense and shows the importance of this man for Cuba. No photos allowed in the museum and mausoleum. No idea why.An interesting and moving visit.

We visited in the pouring rain and took some very atmospheric photos of the huge statue of Che with a stormy sky behind. Underneath the statue are two rooms: one is a small museum containing photos and artefacts relating to Che's life (with some captions translated into English) and the other is a mausoleum with an eternal flame and plaques commemorating Che and his comrades. As you would expect it is a rather solemn place but gives an insight into just how important Che is to the Cuban people. There is ample parking, admission is free and there is free storage for bags and cameras which are not allowed inside the museum or mausoleum.

This museum depicts Che Guevara's contribution to the cuban Revolucion. Plenty of pictures, arctifacts and guns ...

Should not come to Cuba without visiting this museum - gives you a wonderful understanding of Cuba's history - some telling photographs puts so much in perspective. Easy to get to from Havana so should be a must on any visit.
