The Haitian Heritage Museum Miami is located in Miami, Florida and exhibits art, culture and heritage from Haiti. The Haitian Heritage Museum is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and showcasing Haitian culture and heritage through works of art, artifacts, music, films, and literature.[1] It is a testament to Miami having one of the largest Haitian communities outside of Haiti.[2][3]
It was founded in 2004 by Eveline Pierre and Serge Rodriguez.[4] commemorating Haiti's Bicentennial.[5] Haiti emancipated themselves with the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture and became the first independent black republic.[6]
