Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)

With its vibrant lineup of exhibits, hands-on workshops, educational programs, lectures and community events, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) takes center stage as one of Downtown Miami’s most prominent cultural destinations.

The museum’s critically acclaimed building designed by Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, houses an impressive collection of 20th and 21st century art with an emphasis on works that relate to Miami’s ethnically rich community as well as Latin America, the Caribbean and the African diaspora. Art lovers can explore the museum’s three floors of galleries comprised of nearly 3,000 permanent collection pieces plus additional rotating exhibits, then head outdoors to marvel at the lush hanging gardens and large scale sculptures amidst the native hammock garden.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite from all the art browsing, complete your visit with seasonal contemporary cuisine and spectacular views of Biscayne Bay at Verde, PAMM’s onsite casual eatery. Or stop by the PAMM shop for a curated selection of decorative objects, handmade accessories and art books.

PAMM is located on the far east corner of Museum Park between the Frost Science Museum and Biscayne Bay. The museum’s daily hours of operation are:

• 11:00am to 9:00pm on Thursdays
• 11:00am to 6:00pm Friday through Monday
• The museum is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
