A centerpiece of the exhibition is “El Refugio in Context”, which offers an intimate look at the Freedom Tower’s role as the Cuban Refugee Center from 1962 to 1974. Visitors will discover poignant stories through photographs, personal documents, multimedia displays, and oral history recordings that highlight the emotional journeys and perseverance of Cuban exiles.
Once the typesetting room for the Miami Daily News, the Knight Skylight Gallery, transformed into a luminous, contemplative space celebrates Miami’s cultural resilience. This gallery features photography, music, and interactive displays that reinforce the Tower’s history and cultural significance, creating an atmosphere that bridges the past with the city’s evolving artistic spirit.
