Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506

The Bay of Pigs Museum and Library of the Brigade 2506 ("BOP Museum") was established in 1987 in the heart of Little Havana in Miami. It has served as a meeting place for the veterans of the Brigade 2506 since that time, and the veterans themselves volunteer to share their personal experiences with visitors to the Museum.

The mission of the Bay of Pigs Museum is based on three pillars:

REMEMBER the men and their sacrifices

EDUCATE the public on the history of the Bay of Pigs and its consequences

INSPIRE and advocate for freedom and democracy in Cuba and throughout the world

The BOP Museum's vision is to be the world's premier institution exploring the impact of the Bay of Pigs Invasion in the US, Cuba and worldwide using a curated collection that details the historical event and highlights the men who participated in it, and programming that explores the parallels between the invasion and current day struggles for freedom.
