Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 18, 2026 —
The Museum of Miami will present a new centennial exhibition, titled “Caught in the Eye: Remembering the 1926 Hurricane,” commencing on September 18, 2026. The exhibition is set to commemorate the 100th anniversary of a significant historical event that profoundly impacted Miami.
The Category 4 hurricane, which struck the region in 1926, resulted in widespread damage and a considerable loss of life. This natural disaster is widely recognized for bringing an abrupt halt to Miami’s burgeoning real estate boom that was underway at the time. Following the hurricane’s devastation, the city embarked on a period of rebuilding and recovery.
Located at 101 West Flagler Street, the exhibition aims to provide a comprehensive look at the events surrounding the 1926 hurricane, its immediate aftermath, and its long-term consequences for Miami’s development. Further details regarding the exhibition’s specific content and any associated programming were not immediately available.
