Pérez Art Museum Miami
Located in downtown Miami’s sprawling Museum Park, a $200-plus-million project on an underused 29-acre property on the bay in downtown Miami, this impressive museum was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. It features a heady collection of artists such as Louise Nevelson, Wifredo Lam, Marcel Duchamp, and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as exhibitions like that of Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, Canadian installation artist Geoffrey Farmer, and more. Also very cool is their collection of self-taught artists including Leroy Almon, known for wood carvings and paintings depicting the African diaspora. This being Miami, there’s a particular emphasis on the Latin American and the Caribbean. There’s also a nice restaurant called Verde, and a very browse-able shop. On the second Saturday of every month, admission is free and there are interactive art classes, BollyJazz (Indian Bollywood-stye) workshop classes, live music and more.
