Hotels near Perez Art Museum Miami

The Perez Art Museum Miami, known as PAMM, is the city's flagship modern and contemporary art museum, housed in a striking Herzog and de Meuron building wrapped in hanging gardens and shaded verandas over Biscayne Bay. The architecture alone, with its columns of dangling plants, is worth the visit.

Inside, the collection focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century art with a strong emphasis on the art of the Americas and the Caribbean diaspora, reflecting Miami's role as a crossroads. The waterfront terrace and cafe make a cool, breezy break, and the Frost Science museum sits right next door.

Pro Tip: Ride the free Metromover to Museum Park to avoid downtown parking, and combine PAMM with the neighbouring Frost Science museum in one visit. The bayfront terrace is a fine spot for a drink at sunset even if you do not go inside.
