Modern Art Museum Miami is a new museum to open in Downtown Miami. The new building will house the most comprehensive collection of modern art in South Florida. The opening exhibits will be from June to September 2017.
The museum will feature hundreds of artworks from renowned 20th and 21st century artists. Artists will include Basquiat, Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Ron Mueck, Cory Arcangel and more.
The museum has a planned opening date in mid-2017 and is located at 100 NE Third Ave in Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District, on Biscayne Bay. Their website is modernartmiami.org.
The museum, called the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), will be built on Biscayne Bay in Miami’s downtown area. It will be the first major art museum to open in the city since the Bass Museum of Art opened in 1955. The 40,000-square-foot building will be designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, who has also designed a number of high-profile museums, including The Whitney in New York City and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
The collection of modern and contemporary art at PAMM will focus on works from Latin America, as well as pieces by European and American artists. It will also include works from artists across genres and cultures. Pieces from cutting-edge contemporary artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Yayoi Kusama, Ed Ruscha and Johan Turi are expected to rotate regularly through the exhibitions. However, there will also be a permanent collection that includes pieces by both established and emerging Latin American artists like Leandro Algardi, Clemente Padin, Maria Izquierdo and Francisco Zúñiga.
In addition to its permanent collection, PAMM plans to host special exhibitions that focus on different themes every year. These could range from
The museum will showcase two of Miami’s most important and visible collections, that of the Fisher family, and that of Leonard “Len” Blumberg. The permanent collection will feature works by Picasso, Matisse, Monet and Van Gogh. Some will be lent from other museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; others will come from the world-class collection of Len Blumberg and his wife Deeda.
The collection is planned to be rotated into public space in the building on a regular basis, enhancing the downtown experience for visitors to the city. The museum is intended to be a significant economic driver for downtown Miami and its retail activity.
This will be a great addition to the Miami Art scene. The architect is Rem Koolhaas and I’m sure it will be just as weird and wonderful as all his other projects. I can’t wait to see the interior.
Tate Modern is a great example of an art gallery that uses architecture to enhance the experience of contemporary art.
I’ve never been to the Tate, but I’ve seen plenty on photos and you can tell by looking at the building that it serves to enhance the work inside. The colors, shapes and materials used in the building are meant to draw your eye in and make you think about what you are seeing.
The new museum will have a separate entrance from PAMM, so if you just want to visit one or the other, you can do so easily.
This will be great for Miami, it’s nice that we’re finally getting a new museum!!!
The museum’s goal is to provide a platform for predominantly emerging and mid-career artists from around the world, and will feature special exhibitions. It will also be home to an extensive permanent collection of modern and contemporary art by artists such as Mark Kostabi, David LaChapelle, Mel Bochner, Manolo Valdes and many others.”

Truffaut also said that “There are no rules in filmmaking because otherwise there would be no art.” I think that being able to fully realize your vision is a privilege we have in Miami, and having a place where we can share it with the city’s residents is what makes Miami great.”
Miami will soon be home to a museum unlike any other in the United States. The Wolfsonian-FIU, opening in late 2011, will be the only museum in America dedicated entirely to the art and culture of the United States in the period from 1945 to 1980. The Wolfsonian will be housed in a new 12,000-square-foot structure designed by internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Viñoly.
From the beginning, the founders of the museum wanted to transform the city into an international art center by creating a new type of museum. The museum they devised is a high-tech space that includes a garden with native and international plants and a sculpture court.
The museum contains three floors with four galleries on each floor that surround a main open-air gallery. The galleries are connected by ramps and outdoor walkways that connect to the sculpture court outside. The galleries can also be used for large events, such as concerts and fashion shows.
The museum has several different kinds of spaces for visitors. There is an auditorium with two hundred seats, an education center, classroom space, and educational workshop areas for children from kindergarten through high school. There is also a library with books about art and artists, an online database, computers, printers and scanners.
The architecture of the building is modern in style with elements of glass, aluminum, steel and concrete. The interior is spacious with plenty of natural light and air circulation throughout the entire building. Visitors will have access to both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions which can be viewed in one visit by using the elevator to travel between floors.
