About The Cuban
"Governments may execute, imprison or deport individual artists and thinkers. But the world of culture is beyond their jurisdiction. The artists whom they discourage, punish or expel, if they escape with their lives, reappear on distant landscapes."
- Daniel J. Boorstin, American Historian and 12th Librarian of the United States Congress
The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora is a culturally specific museum of memory, dedicated to showcasing and documenting the history, culture and contributions of the Cuban Diaspora, through the arts and humanities.
The museum's mission is to tell the story of the millions of Cubans living around the world, through the eyes of its greatest artists, thinkers, and creators. These individuals, born outside or forced from their homeland, have emerged in distant landscapes, carrying the story of a people in exile.
Located in the heart of Miami, just minutes from Little Havana, The Cuban aims to give this story a home.
Although we receive operational support from Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and community partners and sponsors, the museum depends on the contributions of private individuals like yourself. In fact, individual giving and membership revenue continue to be the largest source of funding for museums across the globe. Stated simply, we need your support.
Your membership pledges and generous contributions will considerably offset the cost of staffing and operating the museum, as well as provide necessary funding for programs like:
- visual arts exhibitions
- concerts and recitals
- film screenings and festivals
- theatrical performances
- book presentations
- lectures and seminars
- workshops and conferences
- oral-history projects
- educational programs and summer camps
- community and adult education programs
As a museum member, you will enjoy free admission, discounts on museum merchandise, and priority access to all museum events, activities and exhibitions, plus invitations for two to openings and special events, as well as many other benefits detailed below.
