Preview of Blueprints for Beauty

Explore the evolution of public and civic spaces in Coral Gables through a century of design, planning and transformation at this special exhibition preview.

The Preview of Blueprints for Beauty: 100 Years of Coral Gables Streetscapes at the Coral Gables Museum offers an early look at a new exhibition tracing the development of The City Beautiful’s streetscapes. Featuring historic photographs, maps and original artifacts, the exhibit highlights George Merrick’s Mediterranean-inspired vision and how it shaped the city’s parks, landmarks and civic infrastructure.

The event launches a broader programming series that will reflect on Coral Gables’ legacy and future through public talks, panels and interactive activities designed to engage the community in imagining the city’s next hundred years.
