This user-friendly gallery in downtown Miami has emphasized art from the Western Hemisphere since World War II. Formerly the Center for the Fine Arts, a space solely for traveling exhibitions, the Miami Art Museum was established in 1984, 10 years after the center's founding.
Realizing that Miami had matured into a vibrant international city, the museum's trustees decided in 1994 that a central museum with a permanent collection was needed to make it a truly great city. A community-wide long-range planning process was launched, with 200 citizens joining in to formulate a vision for the future. In 1996 the center was re-named The Miami Art Museum of Dade County.
Housed in the Metro-Dade Cultural Center, the museum still features a wide range of changing exhibitions from around the world, as it works to build a permanent collection. The comfortable, large and airy gallery with exhibits on two floors is one of Miami-Dade County's largest museums. The growing collection includes works by Robert Rauchenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, and Leonora Carrington.
The Miami Art Museum shares the Cultural Center with the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and the Miami-Dade Public Library. Parking at the six-floor Cultural Center Garage is $3.00 when your parking ticket is stamped at the museum's admission desk.
