Pérez Art Museum Miami

"Not only does Verde have one of the best views in Miami, but it’s casual enough to show up in shorts and a tank top. The restaurant is located in the back of the Pérez Art Museum and has a beautiful, uninterrupted view of Biscayne Bay. That’s really why you should come here (and why you shouldn’t sit inside), but the food—mostly salads, pizza, and sandwiches—is solid. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron (2013). PAMM is a major arts & cultural institution in the Downtown area and in the city as a whole, if not for its modern and contemporary art exhibitions, workshops and social events, then for its picture worthy architecture, hanging gardens and beautiful waterfront & lush setting. After you've finished seeing the current exhibition, stop by the nicely curated museum shop, cafe or go for a stroll in its beautiful waterfront gardens. You can easily make a memorable day out of your museum visit." - Lemon Yellow

Throughout early 2024, guests can check out the works of renowned artist Yayoi Kusama, which feel just as colorful and fantastic as the city itself." - Stacey Leasca

"Though the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is focused on 20th- and 21st-century international art, and a large permanent collection of works (over 3,000 spread across 8 galleries) by such acclaimed artist as Jenny Holzer and Sam Gilliam. The museums spans 120,000 square feet inside but is best known for its facade, with hanging gardens among its most iconic features. Current exhibitions explore things like post-colonial condition and Africa and African-diaspora art; the museum is in a constant conversation with the current topics consuming society, as well as overlooked and worthy subjects. Timed tickets must be reserved online in advance of visits, so the museum doesn't feel crowded. Elevators and ramps for people with mobility issues. Don't miss a swing in the sculpture garden on the hammock-like net swings overlooking Biscayne Bay." - Sara Liss, Terry Ward
