Our new permanent exhibit on the history of Cuban Exiles, is open every day from noon to 6:00 PM.
"For Cuban Americans in particular, this moment carries special meaning. The Freedom Tower — the tallest building in the city when our families first arrived — now stands dwarfed by the skyline we helped build. To see it joined by a presidential library is a testament to that progress and a point of pride.
It is time to put aside partisan agendas and manufactured outrage. Miami has always been a city that looks forward. Let us embrace this opportunity to elevate Miami into its rightful place as the city of the future."

The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora is proud to have promoted María Corina Machado`s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize a year ago.

In a recent @miamiherald op-ed, Marcell Felipe, Chairman of the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora, reflects on the legacy of the Freedom Tower and Miami’s evolution from refuge to symbol of liberty.
He reminds us that “Miami became the capital of Latin America thanks to Cuban exiles and the Wall Street of the South thanks to economic migrants from the North.”
The article highlights how freedom and opportunity have shaped Miami’s identity — values that continue to guide our mission at the Museum.

CUBAN-AMERICAN PROMISE AND SUCCESS
________________________________
PROMESA Y ÉXITO CUBANO-AMERICANO
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.
