About this Event
Join us in celebrating the launch of Wisdom of the Century at the historic HistoryMiami Museum. This special coffee table book showcases the lived experiences, insights, and wisdom of 90 remarkable Floridians—each over the age of 90. Captured through soulful photography, storytelling, and aesthetic design, Wisdom of the Century is a tribute to resilience, diversity, and the strength of community.
About the Event
Beginning promptly at 6:30 p.m., this program will feature remarks from Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Wisdom of the Century team, followed by a behind-the-scenes video that offers a glimpse into the creation of the book. Guests can then view the striking portraits of the participants in the exhibition hall and enjoy a selection of savory bites and desserts. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet some of the book’s featured nonagenarians and centenarians, as well as mingle with the book's creators.
Why Attend?
Wisdom of the Century shares lessons learned from a generation that has lived through wars, pandemics, economic and social upheaval, and the rapid evolution of technology. From inventors to artists, homemakers to entrepreneurs, Holocaust survivors to community leaders, these individuals represent the resilience and diversity that shaped Miami’s history. This event is a chance to honor these voices and gain perspective on the enduring power of legacy and connection.
