Known formuseumFreedom TowerCuban historyMiami culture
The Museum of Art and Design at MDC occupies the historic Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard, a landmark with deep meaning for Miami's Cuban exile community — many visitors have personal family connections to the building's past as a Cuban refugee processing center. Exhibits rotate and have included major shows like a FIFA soccer exhibit, alongside displays rooted in Miami's cultural history. One real caveat: some rooms are notably dark, which reviewers flagged as a safety concern for elderly or unaccompanied visitors.
