Bay of Pigs Museum

The Bay of Pigs Museum is planned to be built in Miami, Florida, USA, commemorating the men of Brigade 2506 and their efforts in the Bay of Pigs Invasion. 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. [ [http://www.bayofpigsmuseum.org/concept.html Museum concept page] ]
