de la Cruz Collection

"For more than 30 years, Cuban-born collector Carlos de la Cruz and his wife, Rosa, would open their Key Biscayne home to the public to share their passion for art, collecting, and education. In 2009, they took their hospitality one step further, opening a 30,000 square-foot museum, designed by John Marquette, in the posh Design District. The museum is free and open to the public, with exhibits thoughtfully installed throughout the light and airy three-story building that showcase well-established international stars alongside local artists, creating a dialogue within the community." - Sara Liss, Jennifer M.
