MIAMI ART MUSEUM
Welcome to Miami | Cultural Miami | Guide Services
MAM Miami Art Museum
Miami Art Museum (MAM) serves the city's thriving community of artists, designers, and collectors and its avid and growing art-viewing public, who are driving Miami's demand for a world-class museum for the display of contemporary art. There are constantly special exhibits. See the link below for current details. Founded in 1997, MAM is a young modern art institution. It is currently housed in the Miami-Dade Cultural Centre, together with the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and the main county public library. It is a relatively small space conceived as an exhibition hall and therefore lacks the facilities to maintain its full collection. Therefore, MAM has begun building a new Museum which will become a highly visible landmark amid Miami's cityscape. It will be located, together with the new Science Museum, in Museum Park, a little used public park between the Ardienne Arsht Centre for the Performing Arts and the American Airlines Arena on Biscyane Boulevard. Groundbreaking was on October 2009, with completion due by 2012. The new building will be LEED green and sensitive to the city's need for public space, the new MAM building is designed to extend the park into the museum site by means of a shaded outdoor terrace accessible to all visitors. Miami is renown as the winter home of Art Basel, so it is only appropriate that the design of this new museum has been awarded to the renown architectural firm of Herzog & de Meuron, based in Basel, Switzerland and known amongst other works for the transformation of a power plant into Tate Modern, in London (2000) and the Beijing "bird's nest" olympic stadium (2008).
