Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to maintain its affiliation with the Smithsonian Institution, the San Carlos needs to hire a professional curator and museum staff and upgrade its operations to Smithsonian standards.  The San Carlos also seeks to produce a 20-minute documentary that will introduce visitors to its history and trace the steps of Florida's Cuban-American community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Enable the San Carlos to better serve the citizens of Florida by presenting Smithsonian-quality programs and exhibits but will also help secure the State's prior investment in the building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Professional staff enables the San Carlos better serve its visitors by upgrading its operational levels with expanded hours and activities; and by upgrading its air-conditioning, humidity-controls and security systems to meet standards required for top Smithsonian exhibits.
