The building of the current Museo del Ministerio del Interior was occupied by the State Security Operations Section from 1959 to 1962. In 1989, the Central Museum of the Bodies of State Security was inaugurated in the building, and in 1991, it was renamed as the Museo del Ministerio del Interior (MININT). Since 2011, it serves under the name of Memorial de la Denuncia (Memorial of the Denunciation).

In 2017, the museum reopened its doors with a new image and a new museology concept to catch the fancy of the general population. Completely renewed museum focuses particularly on young generation using the facilities of the modern technology. The new technology enables the young brains to make an interactive journey through the tragic events that led to the change of the regime. The tactile screens, infographics, objects, materials with holographic effects, films, all these facilitate to visualize the recent past of the island in a dynamic way. The Museo del Ministerio del Interior is a unique contemporary museum of its kind in Cuba.

The museum is a complex consisting of three adjoining buildings. Two of these buildings were used as exhibition areas, whereas the third building serves as a socio-cultural space.

The thematic museum has six permanent exhibition rooms where the visitor be informed about the threats to which Cuba exposed after the Revolution, by means of monographs, documents, articles, objects and multimedia.

The ground floor of the first museum (the first building) and one room on the upper floor is dedicated to documents and photos to denounce the state terrorism, a policy based on violence and terror that was executed systematically to Cuban people under the protective mantle of the US. At the entrance of the staircase to the upper floor, there is a counter, consisting of cubes, that show the total number of the victims of terrorism against Cuba, calculated by the government, and it can be updated at any time. The walls surrounding the staircase is covered with 3.478 small black crosses that represent the total number of the victims of terrorism against Cuba. In another room on the upper floor, the theme is the plans and operations of CIA to weaken the regime in Cuba. The numerous actions and attacks, operated by CIA and other intelligence services, affected many lives in Cuba. The sabotages, operated by the CIA, such as the detonation of the French freighter La Coubre in the harbor of Havana in 1960 and the blasting of the Barbados plane during flight in 1976, can be watched by means of the three-dimensional projection in the audio-visual room, accompanied by the sounds that are used to experience the reality as close as possible and the smell of the gunpowder, filling the room.  On the touch screens you can see some pictures of the corpses and dying people due to the attacks.

The bloody shirts of Manuel López de la Portilla and Orosmán Dueñas Valero reveal the violence that these people have been exposed to. Manuel López de la Portilla succeeded in infiltrating a counter revolutionary organization; however, the group discovered his true identity and killed him on the reefs at the northers coast of Havana in 1960. He is considered the first martyr of the State Security. Orosmán Dueñas Valero was killed by some Cubans that had stolen a vessel and were leaving the island illegally in Tarará. He was disarmed, his hands were tied and then he was killed by machine-gunshot. Here, you can find also the remains of the Barbados plane. Different type of weapons that were included in the plans of the CIA and the Miami groups to assassinate Fidel Castro are shown on panels and on touch screen.

A huge amount of ammunition under the glass on the floor is another striking decoration in the room.

There is also a room dedicated to transient exhibition of plastic arts and a point of sale of books.

In a room of the second building a room, some articles are shown to lay bare the economic war, carried out by the leadership of the US, to bring the country to its knees and to destabilize the social life. Meanwhile, another room is dedicated to the foreign media that conducted a media war against the regime in Cuba. The black propaganda was an essential tool of the US’ policy towards Cuba to instigate the imbalance in the country. In this context, you will see some covers of the digital platforms as Diario de Cuba, Generación Y, Café Fuerte and Cubaencuentro.

The migration issue that is still actual, is the theme of another room. This sensitive topic was purposely manipulated by the US to undermine the Cuban government. The US authorities didn’t hesitate to encourage some Cubans to leave the country illegally in a dangerous way that ended frequently by the loss of the lives of innocent people in the ocean. The Operation Peter Pan was one of the hostile manipulations of the US, carried out intensively from 1960 to 1962. CIA, in alliance with the Cuban Catholic Church, spread the grapevine that Cuban government was working on a law to take all the children from the age 5 to the age of 18 from their parents. The panic led the parents to send their children to other countries, so that almost 15.000 children left the country, most of arriving in the USA illegally.

On a touch screen you can see bleeding eyes on the digital map of Cuba to draw attention to the plans of the CIA to sow diseases in Cuba like dengue fever and shine fewer.

In another room, you will find a rustic boat, built in 1990s by some Cubans that wanted to flee the island. The “historical line on the manipulation of the migration issue” can be seen on touch screens.

The screens show pictures of Cubans carrying boats, some snapshots from the Elián González Crisis and a page of the newspaper El Nuevo Herald, announcing a revolt on the Malecón. Another room has the title: “Our strength is the strength of the people”.

The third house, located at the bottom of the two buildings, serves as a multipurpose socio-cultural place. In the library of the museum the visitor can make his research, checking the printed and digital media. You can download the historical documents in his flash memory.

There is also a game room where you can play games, mostly made in Cuba. Thus, you will have the opportunity to learn the facts about the history of Cuba interactively while you play. For example, you can recreate the invasion of Playa Girón and be informed about the details. You are expected to sit on the floor, as the room is designed physically so. There is a stand of the Capitan San Luis Publishing House which deals with publishing a group of collections closely linked to the themes that are reflected in the museum, like the Denuncia collection. A navigation room is put to the service where the visitor will receive information about his search regarding the topics of the museum. It is also possible to use the e-mail service in the room.

There are also a cafeteria and a bookstore.

The space is used for concerts, conferences and book presentations regularly.

Even though some sentences on the walls are in English, the touch screens and the document copies are in Spanish and there is not any information about the tragic events that Cuba had to expose to. Thus, a moderate visitor that has not any knowledge about the history of Cuba after the Revolution, would find the museum less interesting.
