Cubaocho Museum and Performing Arts Center is a cultural institution founded in 2007 by Roberto Ramos in the heart of Miami's Little Havana. Built around a collection of Cuban art spanning 1800 to 1959, Cubaocho operates simultaneously as a gallery, performance stage, gathering space, and creative hub — integrating painting, sculpture, music, dance, theater, literature, and film under one roof. The venue hosts a full range of private events, from intimate cocktail receptions to full venue buyouts, all set within gallery spaces surrounded by original artwork. Live Cuban music plays every night, and a full bar, handcrafted cocktails, a late-night Cuban kitchen, and a cigar lounge complement the experience for guests. Founder Roberto Ramos spent decades rescuing paintings and historical narratives nearly lost after the Cuban Revolution, and co-developed the academic text *Great Masters of Cuban Art* with historian Carlos Ramos and scholar Zeida Comesañas Sardiñas — making Cuban art from this period accessible to U.S. universities and fine arts programs. That legacy deepens the cultural context guests encounter throughout the space.

The park's grounds include covered pavilions, the Serenity Gardens with its white-roofed gazebo, and the Wayne and Catherine B.
