Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a historic estate and museum located in Miami that preserves the Miami estate of agricultural industrialist James Deering and is designated a National Historic Landmark. The site combines historic interiors with expansive gardens and is dedicated to conserving cultural and environmental resources for public education and engagement. Its mission centers on helping visitors connect with the past, understand the present, and consider future possibilities. Situated in Miami, Florida, the organization operates as a mid-sized cultural institution within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, delivering preservation-focused programming and public access to its historic resources. In February 2026, Vizcaya appointed María Carla Chicuén as Associate Executive Director and Chief Strategy & Collaboration Officer, a newly created role intended to strengthen institutional strategy, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement during a period of growth. This leadership development signals ongoing transformation and a focus on broadening partnerships and impact through Vizcaya's programs and sites.
