Visions of the Caribbean

Friday Feb 25, 2005 - Sunday Jun 5, 2005

This exhibition will present, for the first time, HistoryMiami’s extensive collection of Caribbean maps, prints and photographs, dating from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century . Visions of the Caribbean will illustrate the many dimensions of Caribbean life from the 1500s to the 1900s, such as European exploration and colonization, African slavery, East Indian indentureship, plantation agriculture, government, rebellions and tourism. This exhibition will provide the community with a unique opportunity to increase its understanding of the significance of this region to world history and to life in contemporary Miami.

HistoryMiami developed this collection over several decades and has become a center for Caribbean studies. Visions of the Caribbean will showcase the museum’s original materials from the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and several other countries. Antique maps, prints, photographs, books, postcards, newspaper articles, and even magazine ads and travel brochures will be on display. Along with depicting various facets of daily life, the material vividly illustrates the beginnings of the tourist boom in the Caribbean islands.
