The authors of the work are the members of Barrios family, who live at Granma town of Guisa and they have already made sculptures of 15 personalities represented so far in the museum.  
Inaugurated on July 14, 2004, the museum has representations in its collection of the heroes Jose Marti and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, and musicians Sindo Garay, Carlos Puebla, Benny More, Bola de Nieve, Compay Segundo, Rita Montaner, Polo Montañez and Juan Formell.
