We believe that Miami deserves a cultural institution that reflects the vibrancy, diversity and complexity of this remarkable city,\u201d she said of the MetroCenter redevelopment that was first initiated in 2022 and proposed a 17-acre development site, which would be part of a larger 28-acre area that would serve as the seat of the Miami-Dade County Government connecting to the Metrorail Government Center Station and external transportation networks.<\/p>\n<p>If approved for development, the project would include affordable housing, open public space, commercial spaces and civic institutions, which includes possibly reconstruction of the museum.<\/p>\n<p>On view through March 28, the museum\u2019s latest exhibit is set in Redland at a migrant market on the edge of Miami where communities from around the world intersect. Captured by Carlos Mu\u00f1oz, the essay of photographs goes beyond simple documentation and mirrors his own story as a migrant from Venezuela. The people he photographs reflect his memories of separation, shifting family ties, and the ongoing effort to find one\u2019s place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur story is unlike any other, and the Miami community deserves a museum that honors that story and ensures all Miamians see themselves represented,\u201d Ms. Crujeiras continued. \u201cLooking ahead, we are preparing to unveil a once-in-a-generation exhibition in celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HistoryMiami is also expanding community outreach efforts to bring exhibitions and programs directly to neighborhoods throughout the city, she added, ensuring that the museum\u2019s impact is felt across all of Miami\u2019s communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting time for HistoryMiami Museum as we continue to celebrate our city\u2019s past while laying the groundwork for our museums future,\u201d Ms. Crujeiras said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Written by Abraham Galvan on November 19, 2025 Advertisement While the MetroCenter redevelopment of 17 acres in downtown&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":{"0":"post-52423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hialeah","8":"tag-hialeah","9":"tag-hialeah-headlines","10":"tag-hialeah-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
