Pérez Art Museum Miami

For the next museum, walk right next door, west, to the Pérez Art Museum Miami 4 [map] (1103 Biscayne Blvd; tel: 305-375-3000; http://pamm.org; Fri−Tue 10am−6pm, Thu 10am−9pm; charge). This contemporary art museum was also relocated to Museum Park, this one in 2013, when it acquired almost 500 works to expand the collection. Mexican artist Diego Rivera features here, alongside other Latin American artists, especially from Cuba. The museum concentrates on the 20th and 21st centuries, and also on the arts and cultures of North and South America, Africa, and Western Europe.

If you’re visiting on a Saturday then there’s one other attraction to see in Museum Park: from the art museum walk east towards the bay and then south alongside the bay to the new Miami Science Barge (1075 Biscayne Blvd; tel: 305-912-3439; www.miamisciencebarge.org; Sat 11am−5pm; suggested donation). While it can hardly compete with the science museum, this floating marine laboratory and educational center is still a fun place to see. The aim is to encourage the development of a sustainable Miami by concentrating on the area’s unique ecological system. There’s an onboard farm that produces food and water, and generates power, and there are talks and workshops too.
