Pérez Art Museum Miami, Modern art museum in Downtown Miami, United States.
Description
The Pérez Art Museum Miami is an art museum for modern and contemporary art in Downtown Miami, Florida. The building rises over three floors with vertical gardens on the facade and opens through large glass panels toward Biscayne Bay.
History
The institution opened in 1984 as the Center for Fine Arts and first occupied a historic building in the cultural district. After moving to the new structure at Museum Park, it received its current name in 2013.
