The Mediterranean-style Metro-Dade Cultural Center in downtown Miami, the oldest area of the city, consists of the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, the Miami Art Museum, and an art-filled branch of the Miami-Dade County Public Library. A spacious and welcoming tiled plaza links the trio of cultural resources. The three-acre complex is a focal point of downtown.
Sheltered from the noise of busy Flagler Street, the plaza and museums greet you with a cascading waterfall and imposing art objects. Here you will see "Dropped Bowl with Scattered Slices and Peels," the gigantic sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. It is perhaps Miami's most noted public art work. At the entrance of the Miami Art Museum is an eye-striking sculptural piece created by R. Duchamp-Villon in 1914.
Guarding the entrance to the Historical Museum of Southern Florida is a working replica of an 18th century military cannon, representing the earliest European settlement of Florida by the Spaniards.
The Miami-Dade County Public Library, which is open seven days a week, contains 4 million holdings and exhibits art in the auditorium and second-floor lobby.
