American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora

A free, deeply researched museum on Cuban history and the diaspora experience, located on Coral Way — reviewers consistently say they knew the subject and still learned a great deal. Plan to spend real time here: there is a lot to read, and the staff at the front desk are notably warm and knowledgeable. Fair warning that some exhibitions are deliberately disturbing, covering authoritarian repression and figures like Che Guevara; at least one visitor also flagged that certain political imagery felt inconsistent with the museum's own anti-authoritarian message. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.
