Pérez Art Museum Miami 🇺🇸

You will find the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) situated along Biscayne Bay in Downtown Miami's Maurice A. Ferré Park. Relocated in 2013 to a spectacular waterfront building designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, this contemporary art museum offers an inspiring cultural escape.

The building itself is a sight to behold, intentionally designed to resemble the historic wooden houses of Stiltsville off the coast of Key Biscayne. As you wander through, you will admire raised wraparound terraces, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand 180-foot staircase, and lush hanging vertical gardens crafted by French botanist Patrick Blanc. Inside, you can explore an extraordinary permanent collection featuring late 20th- and 21st-century artwork focused on the Americas, Western Europe, and Africa.

Take time to see impressive pieces by renowned artists like Kehinde Wiley, Frank Stella, Diego Rivera, Purvis Young, and Wifredo Lam. You will also discover one of the largest collections of contemporary Cuban art in America, along with works funded to highlight African-American art and the Caribbean diaspora. Whether you are using multimedia guides on the PAMM App or appreciating architectural design, visiting PAMM delivers a rich artistic experience.
