The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora opened its doors in 2016 in Miami, and shares the history and culture of the Cuban people who have left the country.

One of the most significant events in the story of Cuba is Operation Pedro Pan, the largest exodus of unaccompanied minors in the western hemisphere.

Carmen Valdivia is the museum’s executive director and curator of the exhibit “Operation Pedro Pan: The Cuban Children’s Exodus.”
