Spent a lovely afternoon visiting the different exhibitions. The gift shop has products for every age. We tried to grab a coffee at Verde but it was closed due to an upcoming event. There is a path to walk along the water. The Frost museum is right beside it, you can do both on the same day!

The location is wonderful. Beautiful grounds outdoors to sit and gaze at the bay and a lovely place to have a snack or eat lunch outside at the museum restaurant. The building is pretty cool, although it looks like many of the upside down trees are not thriving. We were disappointed by the art collection. Art of course is a very individual thing but for us much of what we saw was unremarkable.

This museum is so contemporary. I love it how it is never the same when I come back to visit. Also, the Latin American artists that find a way to enter here are amazing. A must if you come to Miami.

Beautiful museum. Architecture of this building is amazingly beautiful. However, exhibition was little bit disappointing. I cant understand their policy not allowing photography or videography beside using cell phone (nothing to film to be honest) I will give a shot again with another exhibition in the future.

I really wish we would have went to the science museum instead.Unless youre a true art fanatic, Im not sure this place is for you. Much of the art here is too complex or abstract for the common person to understand. You must pay$15 for parking in a garage with more potholes than the entire state of Oklahoma. The facility was clean, large and well staffed with some neat places to hang out, particularly outside.

The museum is unique and interesting from the outside. The building had many points of visual interest with plants all over. The interior is open and bright. The staff are friendly and helpful.The galleries are well laid out and cohesively curated. The flow is dictated by COVID precautions but adds to the continuity of the experience.The museum presents works by people of differing backgrounds and perspectives. This broadens the appeal and deepens a well rounded visit for guests.Outdoor and indoor spaces are incredible. When you arrive at the museum you see lush plants and plenty of shade. There are spots with water views with plenty of shaded seats. There is a cafe for drinks and or food.The museum store has an impressive selection of quality items. I personally liked the vinyl sold in a partnership between Miami local shop Sweat Records in Little Haiti and PAMM. There is a variety of various artists like Clarence Reid with varying presses - some color. A neat find to help support local and take a PAMM memento home.

Good museum with stunning architecture and greenery. Great for a cultural day in Miami. There is also a good restaurant and cafe located on the property. The museum is integrated with the park which is very nice, one can take a stroll around outside after visiting the exhibitions in the museum.

Great place to go, special to take pictures of the City.

Nice to see great art in this city!

The space is nice, the art selection at the time we visited was Ok

This museums architecture is a definite treat for the eyes, and with big open interior spaces and minimal corridors, I get to really focus on the art while still taking in how the space interacts with it.As for the art? You have some real gems in there, especially some surreal art and the exhibition consisting of black artists. However, I cant get into some of the art that requires a lengthy description for proper interpretation... but such is the deal with modern art (-_-)The live music they sometimes host at the patio is awesome too. In late 2019 I saw Men I Trust there, what a time.8/10

As a local, this was my first time experiencing PAMM and I was so pleased!First of all, big ups to those that decided to provide free entry for active military and Veterans! I’m a member but I took my parents who are proud Veterans.The staff was so nice and the exhibits were truly breathtaking. I really enjoyed “Allied with Power: African and African Diaspora Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection.” Amazing paintings, photography and sculptures. Thankfully, they had the collection available in the gift shop so I really only took a few pictures to post here.The day was beautiful and we enjoyed the café right after a walk around the building. Truly a wonderful experience!I like the timed entries but just wished my slot didn’t include anyone “doing it for the ‘gram” because it takes away so much of the experience and the art itself. Taking a selfie with a piece representing slaves jumping into the ocean during the slave trade is not something to giggle and throw up a peace sign for social media. Whew, chile They need to be stopped.

I was lucky enough to be taken around the exhibit by a friend of mine who works for the museum. Stunning art and vistas. Worth a visit on any trip to Miami.

Not worth the money. Youll find much better art in other cities. Miami can do better.

Beautiful museum with an eclectic mixture of art. Easy parking and stunning sights to see all around the museum!

The museum was decent. I liked a lot of the art and stayed there for quite a while, however, I didnt like that there was not a general theme. I felt the art was all over the place.

Absolutely stunning building right off the water. Beautiful modern exhibition. Covid protocol on point. I will be visiting again next time I am in Miami.

Beautiful location, great museum $15 flat rate parking but you can park a block a away and walk to save some money. Theres a really big public park right next to it thats a nice place to sit. You could spend a full day here

The building exterior itself looks terrible, but the lawns and views of Biscayne bay make up for it. Some interesting art but needs for exhibits for the price.

The Pérez Art Museum rotates its exhibitions on a periodic basis. Every 3 to 4 months expect to see a new show in addition to selections from their permanent collection. The museum is architectural masterpiece. The permanent collection contains works by 20th Century Masters such as Rosenquist, Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Anna Mendietta and Susan Rothenberg to name a few. It’s all part of Miami World class art scene encompassing at least 10 major regional art collections. The Rubell, The Delacruz, ICA, The Margulies collection, the Lowe art Collection, FIU museum, NSU museum and the Palm Beach Museum.

Interesting and nice outdoor space!

I used to come here to study when i went MDC! The museum vibes are amazing, the please is neat and the art depending on the current artist is most of the time LOVELY! VERDE pizza and fries are so fireee also

Really enjoyed the cafe

This place is a hidden gem. First time going to the restaurant Verde. But I plan on coming back to tour and visit the Frost Museum. The view is AMAZING!!! A little slice of heaven on earth. A place to go and relax, eat good food and walk near the waters edge. Not that busy fort lauderdale strip. Peace, tranquility and just quietness in abundance. AMAZING!

The City of Miami has a first class Art Museum and definitely worth every penny. So much to do beyond art. Great Dining, beautiful view of Biscayne Bay right next to Bayfront Park, The Miami Heat, and Bayside Marketplace.

Not only is it an architectural icon and destination, the museum is also a unique experience on its own. Together they make Perez a great experience for a day trip and check out the art plus the buildings thoughtful design into its inside and surroundings.

It’s a beautiful Museum, nice place to make an art visit

Galleries are poorly lit! Space looks old and needs a renovation! The exhibitions weren’t that exciting either!

I can see most of the 5 stars are talking about the building and the outdoor areas, which I agree with, they are beautiful. The exhibitions? It so much. Maybe it’s just me and I don’t do well with contemporary art, I just found the collection too contemporary.

Great introduction to some latin and african american art, coming from Europe. :) Really appreciated the variety in the artists.It’s a must see when visiting Miami. It was the highlight of my exploring.

Due to Covid, I had the pleasure to have the place almost to myself. It was beautiful and magestic. Such a great space and exhibitions! 10/10 must see.

We actually just came here for brunch... but brunch with an awesome view! The food was awesome! A really relaxing place

Small art museum but has some great art!

Beautiful building, entry isnt too expensive, metro mover access makes access easy especially if you do not want to pay for the crowded $15 parking.

3 out of 5 for art museums I’ve been too. Cool architecture but not that much art. Where are the 3,000 pieces of art? Seems like maybe 100.

Does not attempt to capture nor appeal to the average person. The location is beautiful. The art itself was a major let down. Go to the Frost Science Museum next door

Beautiful place and Peaceful park

Beautiful museum. This has a great restaurant with great views to the harbor. This is a gem and must visit

Ok the collection is great and I love going there but the best part with the PAMM is the building itself and the area around it. It is always so pleasant to just sit in the covered area gazing at the view on the palm trees and the South Beach canal after the visit. Totally doable with young kids too (granted I have a membership so can keep the visits with my daughter short without feeling i should have spent more time in there). Must do at least once if living in Miami.

If you visit Perez when the weather is right, it can be very magical and with the combination of the art exhibits and the architecture it is worth enjoying.

I enjoyed visiting the Perez Art Museum. A different atmosphere and enjoyable.

Beautiful architecture and stunning contemporary art. Plus the view was unmatched

The building and site is cool, but the art museum just doesnt hold a lot of art and what it has is somewhat mehhhh.

Don’t miss this. Took us about 90 minutes to enjoy the whole museum. Don’t miss the outdoor sculpture garden. Parking was $15. Super, amazingly friendly staff.

It’s surprisingly small, but it’s a worthy exhibit to say the least! The art gallery is very average but everything else was really fun and exciting! The outside view is also wonderful! Wouldn’t mind going back a second time.

Gorgeous location and the Museum itself. Some Art works I really liked, others were too minimalistic and over rated.

The Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is a world class cultural hub in the making. While many will be quick to complain about the art exhibits and the variety, I personally appreciate that the PAMM has opted to amplify the voices of lesser known black and latinx artists. If you come to Miami and want to get a real taste of what Miami’s art scene has to offer, the PAMM is a great place to start—the exhibits are a melting pot, much like the locals who call this place home. Aside from the exhibits, the PAMM is situated on prime real estate, so if you finish walking around and taking in the exhibits and are in the mood for a different kind of art, there is a park (believe it’s called millennium park?) located right next door where you can have a picnic by the water or facing downtown’s cityscapes. In all, the PAMM promises a plethora of local art with a view and I would recommend this place to tourists and locals alike.

This is such a small art museum. The entrance is the best entrance ever!! The architect is worth seeing. The art exhibits are meh. The view is amazing. And the hanging plants are great!

It is a wonderful architecture but the museum management should all be FIRED. They waste this space with awful and tasteless so called exhibitions. I am an art collector and a member of many European museums and a patron to several art events, but what these people are doing to this place is outrageous.PAMM museum management is a disgrace to Miami.

I came here at the advise of my real estate agent peter ancona. We had a wonderful time and also visited the science museum next to it. Overall a great family day.

One of the places in Downtown Miami you want to rinse and repeat is the Perez Museum. With incredible views and 2 floors worth of your bohemian time. Perez Museum stands as a cultural icon for the party city that Miami is. Safe for kids and people from all over the world you can find art pieces from unique artist. Every month something changes so, perfect excuse to go again. Outside you will find a gourmet restaurant and with one of the most gorgeous views of the Miami Cruise Port. A most see.

Spaces to relax your mind, admire art and take a few hours of peace

Surely there are better museums, because this museum is so lacking in real art. I have been to art museums all over the U.S. and also some in Europe, and I rate this the worst. The best exhibit is a group of miniature boats hanging from the lobby ceiling. Beyond that, one large wall painting, a film about African Americans and the While the Dew is Still on the Roses werent boring or awful. Some decent photos as well.To be fair, Im not a fan of some contemporary art. My feeling is if I have to read an explanation about why a work is good, then its likely not good. A single photo of two or three books leaning on a pice of square wood did not evoke any emotion in me except to think who is the curator of this museum and why was this piece chosen?There was the seemingly obligatory mirror image geometric painting in two colors and the painting of straight colored lines, both of which almost anyone could have painted. I think the artists on display had become famous somehow in the past, and now are able to create something facile and call it art. I thought this was a waste of time.

Excellent location!! Always have an amazing art selection, lots to see. The outside area is beautiful and very unique, with bay views and swinging chairs, green areas, it’s overall a must-see if you are in Miami!

Free admission on second saturdays but they conveniently forget to tell you you’re still going to pay $15 for parking regardless of the day

Wonderful Museum!!! Have been several times. I love that the art work changes. The pieces are fascinating and thought provoking. And the actual museum is amazing. The setting on Biscayne Bay is spectacular. Not to be missed if you are in Miami and are a lover art.

Very nice museum in downtown Miami. Loved the eclectic sense of style. Very well maintained and a nice break from the usual dinner and drinks vibe we’re always on in Miami. Definitely visit!

I have been here a couple of times and I always enjoy the experience. Its not only about seeing the artwork but the building and its surrounding itself is a work of art. The hanging gardens, the cool swing chairs out side, the view of the bay, and the architecture inside and out. Definitely take advantage of promotions since it is a bit pricey for some at normal cost.

Love the Perez.

Amazing place with the best view in town.The art is a must see and finally a mojito in the verde restaurant, to conquer Miami.

Beautiful architecture, land and scenery. Modern spacious structure perfect for displaying art. Unfortunately the art collection is curated poorly, most of the pieces try to make a political statement and there is too much aggression in the artworks. Quite frankly, the small amount of art on display for such a large structure was weak. A few good pieces, a lot of street art and this is no Moma.

Great service, you can even take pictures of the art and next to the art with any problem. However, you will need to keep your mask on. You can have tours and everything related to the art being explained to you even on your phone. Its a pleasure!

Just wow the aquarium is amazing and my children loved every minute of it. Many exhibits there was there for 4 hours and didnt see everything! Lots of money and planning put into this place and it shows.

Very nice. Love all the space and views of the outside but the security inside are a little too strict in regards to touching the pieces. Sometimes one was to touch oil on canvas to see how it feels, bit they wont even allow it for a split second. There were pieces of old article inside a class table with absolutely no access to touching them but they wouldnt even allow to touch the glass top to point something out. But this us understandable. The parking and gift shop were extremely expensive.

Maybe I have a high standard for art, maybe I just dont know how to appreciate some of the modern art, personally I dont think there are many artworks worth paying to see at this place. To me some of the artworks look like graduate projects of art college students and some are just ...weird. This place does have very nice view, though.

This museum is well worth a visit. A great display of modern and contemporary art!

This place is amazing. Finding museums.that uplift and showcase Black, Indigenous and Latino artists in the world is hard but this does exactly that curating amazing galleries and collections.

There are a lot of different exhibitions that will keep you interested for hours upon hours. The Pérez Art Museum Miami is a very fun place to go to. Make sure you take your time and look through the sites. The staff here is also very nice!

Such a beautiful place and artworkMust go to. I couldnt have loved it more ♥️

I Love coming here and looking at the art work they have, beautiful exhibits, a nice view of the city. The environment is for familys, a date, or just tourist in town with some locals. The have very polite staff😎

Great curatorial work! The exhibitions tend to be on the smaller side but always extremely cohesive in their themes and approaches. Thank you!

Fantastic museum, worth admission cost. Absolutely gorgeous outdoor area with seating and views of the bay you can access without admission fee. Art descriptions in English and Spanish.

The museum itself and collection wasnt as impressive as the surroundings outside. Go and enjoy the swing outside of the museum, take a stroll along the waterfront amidst all the palm trees. Thats all free.

The building is really awesome. It’s got these awesome tube structures that are full of plants, it’s right on the water, and it’s very modern and cool. The restaurant is really nice too. It has a great view of the causeway and the water. The food is really good, and the drinks are nice too. The art is very mixed. They have some great pieces, the boats in the lobby, the blue arch in the front of the building, a few others, but they had a lot of bad pieces too. Still, definitely worth a visit I just wish they would step up their selection a bit!

If you look at the premises this Museum is top notch.Moving to the art, just keep in mind that their permanent collection is basically afro-descendent and latin american contemporary art.I certainly enjoyed their collection but if you expect to see the great masters from other art currents and ages youll be disappointed (unless they feature a temporary exhibit).Anyway, this is a great sign that Miami is much more than SoBe, clubs, sun tans and superficiality.

Hmmm… I’m not sure I liked the museum.. cool building but everything was okay… there has so many cool museums (I’ve been dc, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Dallas, Austin…) this one was my least favorite. The art layout was odd.. where’s the entrance of second floor? Just nothing clear art museum. The gift shop was not impressed at all… glad that I could go to Miami art museum but next visit Miami I rather go to science museum or visit again vizkaya garden

The selection of Latina American Artist is fantastic. Contemporary art and interactive experiences for the family. It is located in a gorgeous setting in downtown Miami. Definitely a great experience for all the family. We celebrated my fathers birthday taking him for a tour of the city in a private van and this place was a joy for everybody.

On vacation with friend, first time to Miami, museum was fun, and we enjoyed our time here. The parking was a flat rate of $15, originally planned to go to the science museum but we walked into the art one lol, scenery was nice and had no issues with people.

Super friendly service, and a well maintained place. The artwork display is fair though. I like the idea how they have more importance to local artists and cultural history displayed with greater significance, which is exactly what artists like me are looking for. For instance, the dedicated display of luminous pink map artwork of the surrounded islands. Thats something I found intriguing among the displays.Unfortunately, theres not enough content for the bucks.

While the collection was quite unique, showing the diversity of people in Miami and amplifying Latinx and Black artists, the architecture of this building was really the star of the show. One of the most fantastic buildings I have seen

Perez museum is always a great visit. I go to every new collection and love the staff and exhibits. The shop has many cool artsy accessories and fun knacks. Must visit if in Miami.

Excellent art exhibition. Very well though and organized with a big variety of artists and arts. Certainly a must see in Miami.

Stunning Contemporary Art Museum in Miami. If you love cutting edge contemporary art, go now.

Worth the visit but don’t expect to be blown-away. Try to get some sort of discounted fee if possible, though. It’s a little pricey for its size/variety. Also, Bank of America card holders get in for free (as we were told at the ticket counter, I don’t remember seeing this info on their website). So if you have that, make sure to bring it and present it when purchasing your ticket.I especially appreciated their Latin-American and African/African-diaspora collection, which unfortunately isn’t something I see very often in museums. That said, the museum is much smaller than I imagined and frankly, I found the narrative somewhat limited.BEWARE: parking was hellish, even though their car park is far from cheap. We were let in but given 10min to find a stop or would be charged 12$ regardless. We struggled but managed to find one. Use public transportation or uber if you can.

Very pretty building. Staff were polite and the art was amazing. I wish they had more pieces.

I love this museum. Always visit when I am nearby. The exhibits are amazingly well curated and moving. Love the building and layout plus the gift shop is great!

Beyond the quality as a museum the location and its eloquent architecture make this place a special place in the Downtown Miami.

This museum has different art styles in its collection . Wonderful location . Just beautiful!

Must Go in Miami. Very interesting art installation indoor and outdoor. Very bright, bold and beautiful artist’s displays to study. It was clean and quiet, architecture is beautiful as well as the gift shop. We had an amazing afternoon.

Perez has a small permanent collection with the most notable artist being Robert Rauschenberg. I visit this museum often to see the rotating exhibits. They always have a diverse mix of artists with varied mediums and points of view.

I was very excited to visit PAMM on a recent weekend to Miami. I have to say hands-down it is the worst museum collection I have ever seen. Most of the art looks like it could have been done by any high school student learning how to use a camera.I really enjoy art of all types, including modern art. But this was a huge waste of my day.

Magnificent building and architecture, if you are into that type of interest then definately reccomend. The views towards the bay are world class and there are a few things to do without having to get into the museum itself. The museum was closed for renovations so cant attest to the quality of their ongoing exhibitions.

Love this place. Consistently great selection. The facility itself is a great place to relax and stroll around.

The building is beautiful. I could hang out outside the building for hours. The exhibits were really interesting and inspiring... Im a designer. I will definitely visit again.

Unique Art. I love seeing the vision others have. I especially like the interactive art that you can feel and connect with and the one you can physically touch.They have a very nice restaurant and gift shop as well.

There isnt a lot here, compared to Montreal or NYC. Finished it all in a little bit more than an hour. But the art was good at least. Wish there was more.

This is such a beautiful place to hang out with friends or the significant other! We went on a windy day so it was awesome! Wheather you walk around the park or sit on the swings ...its the perfect place to chill! There is a resturant inside the museum. We didnt go inside the museum though.

A must place to visit in downtown. A lot of learn and watch. Centrally located, nice parking lot area and amazing views.

Loved that place right on Government Cut with a view of the cruise ships port and Venetian Causeway. Besides the modern art inside, the gardens are a great place to hang out if the temperature is not too hot.

We saw some great stuff! Every local & tourist should take a day to come see the museum & walk the gardens. It was a day well spent.Tip: the first Thursday of every month is free!
