San Carlos Institute is a free Cuban heritage center at 516 Duval Street that also functions as a library, gallery, theater and school. Founded by Cuban exiles in 1871 and restored in 1992, it connects Key West to José Martí, Cuban independence and the island's Cuban-American community. Visitors praise the architecture, history and low-pressure 30-60 minute visit. The compact historic building and stairs mean it is not a large fully interactive museum, and mobility access should be confirmed.
