Museo de la Guerra Hispano-Cubano-Norteamericana offers a broad view on the ambition of USA to control Cuba, the events during the war in 1898, and its consequences.

The museum is on an extensive green area with ornamental plants and fruit trees. Initially it was conceived for a painting gallery to expose the works on the theme of the centennial generation. In 1988, the place was inaugurated by Juan Almeida Bosque as the Museum of the Spanish Cuban-North American War.

In the museum the sinking of the battleship Maine, the declaration of war of USA on Spain, the American naval blockade to the different ports of the island including Santiago de Cuba, the battle around the city of Santiago de Cuba and the peace treaty signed in Paris are narrated by photos. The campaign of the yellow press to propitiate a favorable atmosphere among the citizens of the USA that sympathize Cuba, is demonstrated by photos. Also, the imposition in Cuba that had ceased to be a colony of Spain and had become dependent to the United States economically and politically, is highlighted by photos and on panels chronicling the war. Several cannons of various caliber, rockets, torpedoes, parts, and materials left over from various sunk Spanish warships are exhibited in the museum. Models recreating the large battlefield, help us in visualizing the war.
