More than 100 historic items curated from Miami's most revered press agent will be on display in the exhibition, "Charlie Cinnamon: Legendary Press Agent," opens at the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU on Monday, June 19 and runs through Sept. 16.
The items are from Cinnamon’s personal showbiz archives, from his childhood growing up in the Bronx during the 1920s, all the way through 2016.

Visitors to the museum will get to experience a treasure trove of never-before-seen items from Cinnamon’s personal collection, like walking through a time capsule with a behind-the-scenes look at the history of show business, the theater, and the evolution of arts and culture in Florida and nationwide.
