"Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is a museum of modern and contemporary art dedicated to collecting and exhibiting international art from the 20th and 21st centuries. PAMM strives to mirror the unique diversity of Miami-Dade’s population in its permanent collections, exhibitions, educational offerings, and public programs. Recognizing that the Museum’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and diversity is integral to its existence and success, the Museum actively seeks to build a diverse board, staff, and stakeholder community."

"Not far from that is the superb Pérez Art Museum. I highly recommend the guided architecture tour. It's free, it takes about half and hour, and it gives you a great explanation of the architects' work. It's stunning, a beautiful mix between green and concrete."

"Aspiring artists will love this collection of huge, brightly-colored murals located in Miami's former warehouse district. Pro tip: visit the murals during the day in order to avoid the rowdy crowds and don't forget to give your child a camera to document their favorite art.

"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!"

"Long before Wynwood became an international art-hub, before places like the PAMM opened its doors, the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami was doing its part to bring contemporary art into the lives of all Miamians. Opened in 1996, the museum in its current state is now entering its 24th year and puts on 8 to 10 exhibitions annually. Notable artists like Anna Gaskell, Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein, Annette Messager, and Frank Stella have all enjoyed either exhibitions or solo shows of their work in the halls of the MoCA NoMi."

"DowntownFew things are more fascinating to a South Floridian than seeing how this city went from a swamp to major world metropolis in just over 100 years. You’ll learn all about Henry Flagler, Julia Tuttle, and the rest of the characters that made Miami what it is, as well as rotating exhibits exploring everything from the legacy of Hurricane Andrew to photos of the lost era of elderly Jews in South Beach. The museum also offers frequent walking tours with preeminent Miami historian Paul George, where even Dade County lifers will learn something new about the place we call home.Know before you go: Open Monday through Saturday 10 am - 5 pm; Sunday 12-5pm."

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what its board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, as well as incorporating new ones."

"The scene: Serving feel-good American classics with strong Southern influences, Whisk is one of South Miami’s hidden gems. The restaurant’s specials change every day to take full advantage of fresh, seasonal produce and local ingredients, so there’s always plenty of new and tasty things to try. While the lunch and dinner offerings are outstanding, especially the salads which are good enough to convert even the most stubborn veggie haters, the brunch menu is really where it’s at."

"This celebrated Wynwood restaurant is a favorite for locals and visitors alike, thanks to its innovative menu and artistic aesthetic. The bar area features a floor-to-ceiling, wallpapered mural by famed street artist Shepard Fairey, while the dining room boasts panoramic canvases by Christian Awe and a futuristic painting by Santiago Rubino, along with an 11 foot multi-colored sculptured man by David Benjamin Sherry. Between the eclectic artwork and innovative dishes found on the restaurant's Latin-influenced menu, the restaurant is a stand-out in Miami's culinary scene."

"The scene: Oozing cool and dripping with style, Wynwood Kitchen and Bar is a trendy nightlife venue that doubles up as an outstanding restaurant serving flavour-packed New American small plates. The urban environs are more suggestive of a contemporary art gallery than a restaurant, with talk-worthy street-style artwork covering the walls both inside and out. While the graffiti-inspired masterpieces are nothing short of stunning, they’re little more than doodles compared to the creative presentation of the food."

"Encased in the Wynwood Walls, a grassy art park featuring 20-foot murals and collages, you'll find the painfully hip Wynwood Kitchen & Bar. Hosting pieces inside and out by world-renowned graffiti artists, this restaurant is lovingly hipster chic, yet shockingly homey. The menu is simplistic in description, offering everyday items like braised short rib, pan-seared snapper and pork tenderloin."
