Best Arts and Culture Places in Sweetwater

"Located at 1103 Biscayne Blvd. downtown, the art museum and art gallery is the highest-rated art gallery in Miami, boasting four stars out of 342 reviews on Yelp."

"One of the most photographed locations in Miami, Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard. Artist-led tours are available, but it’s free to simply explore on your own. What invariably bowls people over is the sheer exuberant colors and commanding presence of the murals, which only tend to be around for less than a year before they are painted over."

"Miami’s Wynwood Wallsare among the most popular, and colourful, outdoor attractions in the city. Vibrant street art and graffiti-style murals cover more than 80,000 square feet of wall space. Inspire your budding young artists with an exploration of this former warehouse district now known for its funky, eclectic, and very ‘gram-worthy, works of art."

"Start your Wynwood adventure at the Wynwood Walls, home to dozens of murals by the world’s top street artists. The murals change regularly, so the next time you visit Miami, many of them will be different. It’s easy to spend an hour or more wandering through the murals and the galleries connected to the Walls."

"The newly opened Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami offers a "Family Day” on the third Sunday of every month. Be there for interactive activities and performances for all ages. A post shared by ICA Miami (@icamiami) on Jan 22, 2018 at 11:25am PST"

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what its board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, as well as incorporating new ones."

"This museum offers an array of exhibitions on South Florida's history, with Family Fun Days (think crafts, music, and storytelling) on the second Saturday of each month. But older kids will also like the off-site historical tours, including art walks of Miami neighborhoods, cruises of North Biscayne Bay, or even a "moon cruise" on the Miami River."

"Learn about Miami's history at this museum that's fun for all ages. On the second Saturday of the month they offer free admission and special family programming. 101 West Flagler StreetMiami, FLOnline: historymiami.org"

"Originally hailing from Argentina, Dot Fiftyone directors Alfredo Guzman and Isaac Perelman opened their gallery in 2003 to showcase emerging and established artists working primarily in Latin America. Their roster ranges from the most recognizable names in Latin America, such as Juan José Cambre and Eduardo Capilla, to prominent artists working in Miami, like Gonzalo Fuenmayor and Michelle Weinberg. Located in a quiet strip in Little River, Dot Fiftyone primarily exhibits painting and photography."

"Another newcomer on the scene, Piero Atchugarry Gallery is grounded in the works of Pablo Atchugarry – a renowned Uruguayan sculptor and gallerist Piero’s father. The accompanying program often includes works by avant-garde Italian sculptors. Piero Atchugarry’s Little Haiti compound also experiments with exhibitions by emerging and mid-career artists, and historic works."

"Definitely a place worth trying, the food is excellent and well prepared, the cost is convenient and it is regularly clean in here."

"If you're seeking to eat out somewhere a bit out of the ordinary, consider a trip to the illustrious Villa Azur. This Mid-beach restaurant offers French Mediterranean fare with obvious, within the confines of an elegant dining room and lounge area. Among its physical attributes are white walls with high ceilings lined with bronze crown moldings, cozy tables with comfortable beige seats, and a small, intimate library with plush couches and superb mood lighting."

"Elegance” is the first word that comes to mind when you walk into Villa Azur. No expense has been spared in decorating the place, and the white color scheme makes for a gorgeous setting ideal for any special occasion. The versatile venue can serve as a stunning backdrop for a magnificent meal or a lively dance floor—it just depends on the night."

"This French-Riviera-inspired spot is as jetsetting as the actual destination, attracting Miami’s Euro crowd with its chic, Belle Époque vibes."

"Part vintage surf shack, part sultry outdoor club, Hyde Beach at SLS South Beach hotel is a prime spot to rub elbows with the young and fabulous of South Beach beneath string lighting and palm trees. Inside the bar, you’ll find VIP tables, a DJ booth and dance floor, while outdoors there’s a sprawling space to mix and mingle in the fresh air by the swimming pools. For a debauched weekend daytime pool party, this is one of the hottest scenes in town."

"Hyde Beach offers artful mixology and cuisine from Jose Andrés — all in an over 8,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor space with a gorgeous pool and beach access."

"Shark Valley Tram Tours offers two-hour guided tours of the paved loop trail that runs 15 miles through the Everglades from the Shark Valley Visitors Center. This is a great way to spot some wildlife and get a high-level perspective of the park from the Observation Tower at the loop's most distant point. If you're planning on visiting during the park's busy season (December through April), be sure that you call ahead for a reservation."

"The two-hour tram tour is the best way to tour through the area. A naturalist is aboard the tram who educates about the ecosystem of the wetland, the animals found in the region and the diverse plants present. The tram takes along the Tram Road Trail."

"I was looking for a decent restaurant where I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg during my stay in Miami. This place was a winner."
