COSI is bringing ¡Cuba! to you!
While you can't physically visit the exhibit at COSI, starting August 24, we will be diving into the sights, sounds, and smells of the island with some of our friends from the Central Ohio Cuban community.
Join us each day on COSI Connects for a dance lesson, a piano concert, recipes, and more.
