American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora — Attraction in Miami

The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora is an incredible facility, crafted with tremendous intentionality, care, and concentration. The museum details the emotional story of Cuba and the resilient tale of its people. It catalogues both the nation’s triumphs and atrocities in a detailed and transparent way. I’d suggest that the content and anecdotes are for mature audiences.

The museum’s exhibit is curated as “chronological layout” which is designed to provide a linear and progressive narrative that helps visitors understand the development of themes, eras, or events over time. The interior of the museum is very thematic meaning that you can expect videos, visual aids, and textured walls/prop overhangs to immerse the visitor in the information being presented.

I’d highly recommend this museum to history buffs, folks of Latin/Caribbean descent, and south Florida residents!

Great place to learn the history of beautiful Cuba. While various exhibits come and go, there is an interactive one now that is just freaking amazing. Definitely check it out while you can.

It gives you an insight into the brutal castor regime, and how the communist took pretty much everything away from the locals in Cuba and made it into this revolution of poverty and despair. It will also give you insight as to why everyone hates it when these dummies wear the Che Guevara T-shirts. He was a murderer, and this exhibit explains exactly how that coward got so famous, and ultimately how his arrogance ended to his death.

Politics aside, the exhibit is well kept very easy to understand since all the captions and videos they have there are subtitle in both English and Spanish. Parking may be a little difficult so make sure you circle the building. They do have a small lot, but it’s usually full best bet is to park around the back side of the building on the street. There are a few spaces here that you don’t...

A Must-Visit for Cuban Americans and Miami Tourists Alike

The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora far exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegance and thoughtful layout of the space. The exhibits are powerful, moving, and expertly curated—each one telling an important story of exile, resilience, and identity.

What truly stood out was the professionalism and warmth of the staff. They were knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about preserving and sharing this important history. Every detail, from the visual displays to the interactive elements, reflects a deep respect for the Cuban experience.
