The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora has quickly become the cultural heart of Cuban Miami, featuring live theater, performing arts, and rotating exhibits that celebrate the greatest artists and thinkers of the Cuban Diaspora, telling stories that cross borders.

Its upcoming permanent exhibit honors the courage of those who, with cries of “Viva Cristo Rey,” chose to die standing rather than live kneeling, endured imprisonment for speaking out, or built new lives as exiles, “sin patria, pero sin amo.”

Through this exhibit, visitors will recognize the threats to freedom today by exploring how a once-prosperous Cuba fell to dictatorship, and the enduring struggle to rebuild. At its core, the exhibit celebrates the American Dream, reflecting an immigrant community that thrives in America, cherishes its adopted home, and believes in its promise as a beacon of hope.

We invite you to join us on this journey.
