The story
The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora or The Cuban, is a Miami, Florida museum dedicated to the history and culture of those who left Cuba due to the rise of communism. The museum was established to preserve and promote the artistic, historical, and cultural contributions of Cubans living abroad, primarily focusing on those who settled in the United States following the Cuban Revolution of 1959. The Cuban serves as a cultural hub and educational space in Miami, offering exhibits and showcasing Cuban heritage through the arts. It also celebrates anti-communism leaders from Cuba, Venezuela, and other countries. As of 2024, the museum's permanent exhibit, known as "The Cuban Experience," immerses visitors in the brutality of the Castro regime and tells the story of those who fled Cuba. It features hundreds of artifacts, pictures, and videos, as well as immersive installations like a simulated execution wall and recreated prison cells.
