Description:
Miami Art Museum (MAM) was created in 1996 through a unique community-wide planning process headed by civic and county government leaders. Guided by the community’s vision, MAM evolved from the Center for the Fine Arts — which opened in 1984, as a space solely for temporary exhibitions — into a collecting museum focused on international art with a profound commitment to education, particularly for children. The Miami Art Museum is located at the Miami-Dade Cultural Center, which also houses the Miami-Dade Public Library and the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. It features an interesting mix of modern and contemporary works.

Description:
| In 1949, The Junior League of Miami's "Project Finding Committee" determined that Dade County's children needed a science museum. The Junior Museum of Miami, a private non-profit organization, was established in 1950 in a house on the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 26th Street. The Junior Museum expanded so quickly that in 1952 it was forced to move to the Miami Women's Club building on Bayshore Drive. It was then christened the Museum of Science and Natural History. During the last decade, the Museum has expanded to provide space for 4,000 member families, over 250,000 annual visitors, one of the largest summer science camps in the nation (ages 3 to 14) and countless additional exhibits, collections and activities. These two attractions share a facility in south Miami, near the entrance to the Rickenbacker Causeway. The Museum of Science has excellent displays on the Everglades and Florida’s coral reef. |
