Museums
The Miami Beach area is rich
in history and culture.
With that comes a grand array of museums
that you are welcome
to explore at your leisure.
For art
aficionados,
there's the ever-popular Bass Museum of Art, Miami Art Museum and
Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. To find out about
the many local galleries in Miami Beach, please visit our Art
Galleries Page.
Two fine art museums located on college campuses that are definitely
worth visiting are the Lowe Art Museum on the grounds of
the University of Miami,
and the Wolfsonian Museum at Florida International University right in
Miami Beach.
Art in its natural form, and we mean the beauty of the naked body in
its various shapes and sizes, are available for your perusal at the
World Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach.
Learn
all about the amazing history of South Florida and the Caribbean at
the Historical Museum of Southern Florida on West Flagler Street in
Miami. The Historical Museum has a wide variety of
informative
programs and events, and is one of the largest private regional history
museums in the country.
Speaking of history, you can learn the incredible accounts and events
of the Jewish people through the ages by way of the Jewish
Museum
of Florida in Miami Beach.
If
the world of science strikes your fancy, then we encourage you to visit
the
Miami Science Museum. This museum will amaze and educate
you via its enlightening displays and stupefying
demonstrations. There's even a Planetarium on premises that
includes fascinating laser shows.
Besides the Miami Science Museum, children of all ages will be
astounded at what they see at the Miami Children's Museum.
The
Children's Museum has all kinds of activities kids can participate in,
from painting to playing musical instruments. Every third
Friday
of the month is Target Free Third Friday at the Miami Children's
Museum, where admission is free to all families from 3pm to 9pm.
Those who are fascinated by flight will be wowed and awed at
the Wings Over Miami Museum at the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport.
You will definitely be awed by their air shows, which take
place annually.
