Bay of Pigs Museum

The Bay of Pigs Museum, also known as the Brigade 2506 Museum and Library is located in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. It commemorates the men of Brigade 2506 and their efforts in the Bay of Pigs Invasion.[1] According to the Bay of Pigs Museum web site, it will be housed in a three-story building. The intent of the design will be to remind visitors of the patriotism, courage and sacrifice of the Brigade. The museum will have interactive exhibits on the first two floors and will be divided into three areas.[2]

Possible Site

According to the Miami Herald the museum may be built on prime bayfront land known as "Parcel B." [3]

Criticism

Another Miami Herald article criticizes the planned museum as a "land grab" [4] aimed at creating more arena parking.
