Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Hibiscus Island

"In Biscayne Bay, you’ll find the PAMM – the Pérez Art Museum Miami (pictured above), spearheaded by the billionaire real estate developer and collector Jorge M. Pérez – in an impressive 2013 building designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. Originally launched in 1984, the PAMM has always focused on contemporary art, but in the last three decades it has increasingly featured Latin American art, and it holds one of the largest collections of contemporary Cuban art in the USA. Besides its permanent collection, there’s an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, which have included artists such as Steve McQueen, Haroon Mirza and Hew Locke."

"Location: 1103 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, United States 33132. Description: Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), located in Downtown Miami's Museum Park alongside Biscayne Bay, is Miami-Dade County's flagship museum presenting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Designed by prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, the state-of-the-art facility offers 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor program space including flexible galleries, an education complex, the PAMM Shop with unique gifts, art books and furnishings, and Verde waterfront restaurant and bar."

"To witness some eye-goggling mural arts in the lap of Miami, the one and only destination are Wynwood walls, a mosaic of colors and vibrancy created under the guidance of Tony Goldman. Started as an initiative in the early 2000s to support and encourage artists, now the Wynwood Walls, a popular open-air art gallery in Miami, stands out in the history of wall art, around the world. You can see artworks displayed at all corners and buildings of the neighborhood represent a grand fusion of wall murals."

"Our last day was spent at the creative Wynwood Walls art exhibit. Beautiful mosaics are spread across a few blocks on streets and on buildings, even on the sidewalks!"

"The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has come a long way since its inception as a single gallery space in 1981. Now one of Miami’s most beloved cultural institutions, the MOCA hosts around eight to 10 special exhibits a year alongside its stellar permanent collections. Among those showcased in the MOCA permanent collection are Keith Haring, Gabriel Orozco and José Bedia, with the collection boasting a whopping 500 works of art."

"Those wanting to see contemporary art while in Miami should really go to the Institue of Contemporary Art, Miami. Here you find all kinds of artworks from well-known artists, but the museum also likes to feature up-and-coming artists. Besides the permanent collection, the museum also has many temporary exhibitions, showcasing a diverse range of contemporary art."

"The newly opened Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami offers a "Family Day” on the third Sunday of every month. Be there for interactive activities and performances for all ages. A post shared by ICA Miami (@icamiami) on Jan 22, 2018 at 11:25am PST"

"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit. Opened in 2004 to commemorate Haiti’s Bicentennial, the 60,000-square-foot museum is a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a location that makes it even more immersive ($10/adult).

"We visited the MOCA Museum Miami. At the time, the exhibit was SYNERGISM: Ekaterina and Victor Khromin. A story of how death took the life of Victor and how his wife, Ekaterina, continues his work through the process known as “Synergism.”"

"Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, in large cities across the United States, children invented a new art form that began by writing their names on the walls of their neighborhoods. Fifty years later, the Graffiti Museum was formed to preserve the history of graffiti and celebrate its emergence in design, fashion, advertising, and galleries. The museum experience includes an indoor exhibition space, eleven outdoor murals, a fine art gallery, and a world-class gift store featuring limited edition merchandise and exclusive items from the world’s most talented graffiti artists."

"New Times isn't crazy about this spot's side practice of selling fine art for profit out of a gallery space on the premises, but the Museum of Graffiti, which opened last year during Art Basel, is still one of Miami's most exciting new art attractions. As the name implies, the Wynwood museum specializes in street art and artists, and it delves into the history of graffiti, its practitioners, and the subculture that grew around it. It's a serious, eye-opening consideration of a long-maligned and frequently outlawed art form that deserves much more respect than it gets."

"Standing at the confluence of graffiti culture in Miami, the Museum of Graffiti is a worthwhile experience of understanding the history of graffiti through decades. Established in the 1970s, this is the first Graffiti museum in the world encouraging the new art form which took shape in the local neighborhoods of the United States when children started to paint and put their names on the walls. Not only will you live the essence of a different art form but you see the interior and exterior exhibitions with exotic works, sculptures, and drawings of more than 5 decades."
