Join the Museum of Art and Design for a night at the movies when we screen The Last Days of the Miami News.

This documentary was shot during the last days of operation for the local newspaper the Miami News. Provided with unlimited access to all areas involved in the publication of the Miami News, film director Mel Kiser captures the final events, thoughts and activities of the staff as they prepare the final issue of the Miami News.

Katharine Labuda, Special Collections & Archives Librarian of Miami Dade-Public Library System, will introduce the film.

Event attendees may park for free in the MDC garage at 500 NE Second Avenue, between NE Fifth and NE Sixth Streets.

The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees. By entering the area, and/or participating in the event, you consent to the recording and its use in any form.
