Miami Art Museum
The New MAM
Growing Miami, Growing Miami Art Museum
Miami Art Museum (MAM) serves one of the most diverse populations in one of the fastest growing regions in the country, where a unique confluence of Caribbean, North and South American cultures adds vibrancy and texture to the civic landscape. The city's thriving community of artists, designers, and collectors and its avid and growing art-engaged public are driving Miami's demand for a world-clbottom museum and dynamic center of visual arts education.
To meet this demand, MAM has entered into a public/private partnership with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County to build a new MAM facility. A dramatic location on Biscayne Bay has been provided by the City of Miami, the voters of Miami-Dade County have approved $100 million in bond funding, and private donors have already committed more than $50 million in additional support for the building and institutional endowment. The new MAM will transform Museum Park into a central destination on Miami's cultural map, promote progressive arts education, build community cohesiveness, and contribute substantially to downtown revitalization.
New Museum Fact Sheets
A Home in Museum Park
The new Miami Art Museum will be an anchor of the 29-acre Museum Park overlooking Biscayne Bay and will include public gardens and sculpture installations. Museum Park is Miami's urban redesign vision for the area now known as Bicentennial Park. This vital downtown park, a catalyst for the transformation of the district, is central to efforts to strengthen greater Miami's momentum as an emerging global capital. A vibrant mix of green space and cultural offerings, in addition to the landmark new facilities for MAM the Park will also be the future home of the Miami Science Museum.
