Free Museums in Cutler Bay

"The Pérez can claim fine rotating exhibits that concentrate on post-WWII international art, but just as impressive are its location and exterior. This art institution inaugurated Museum Park, a patch of land that oversees the broad blue swath of Biscayne Bay. Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron designed the structure, which integrates tropical foliage, glass and metal – a melding of tropical vitality and fresh modernism that is a nice architectural analogy for Miami itself."

"The Perez Art Museum Miami is also a contemporary art museum and contains around 2000 artworks. The collection consists of several objects from the 20th century and more recent art coming from several parts of Europe, Africa, and America. Not only will you find paintings here, but also sculptures, photographs, and other types of works."

From cartoon artwork to multi-colored murals, it’s definitely one of the most Instagrammable places in Miami!"

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what organizers and 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 (George Merrick and Marjory Stoneman Douglas were members) continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, along with new ones."

"The original Homestead Town Hall was built more than a century ago and has been converted into a museum boasting one of the area’s most complete collections of historic memorabilia related to the town. The items on display include vintage photographs, historical documents, and other unique tidbits of local interest; there’s even an old fire engine that was retired long ago. The Homestead Historic Town Hall Museum is located on North Krome Avenue and doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, so it’s quite possible that visitors will have the place to themselves."

"This Miami institution reminds me of any good restaurant in downtown Lima, unpretentious and simple. The food here speaks for itself. But as you may not have tried it yet, let me explain."

"Estiatorio Milos brings a taste of Greece to the shores of Miami; it is a chic, stylish eatery that serves classic Mediterranean cuisine. Serving incredibly fresh seafood that arrives every morning and which can be chosen from the icy-cool display in the back of the restaurant, the restaurant features a menu that also boasts classic Greek plates such as charcoal-grilled octopus, lightly fried zucchini flowers filled with Mediterranean cheese, and karidopita (Greek walnut cake) dripping in honey. As Estiatorio Milos is one of Miami’s most refined and popular restaurants, be prepared to spend a little more than you would at any other restaurant."

"As one of Miami’s finest and longest-running Mediterranean seafood restaurants, Milos is never a bad idea. With locations around the world (Athens, Montreal, London), we’re partial to our hometown outpost for a few reasons: It’s basically located on the beach, the dining room is equal parts traditional and modern, and the food is always top-notch. Pick your favorite fish and have it fried, grilled or served as a tartare, paired with a classic Greek salad and a side of fried potatoes."

"While the dining area for both couples and groups is limited (hint hint: make a reservation for guaranteed seating), the atmosphere at Sonia’s is anything but held back. You’ll feel right at home here in the welcoming family environment, where lunch and dinner menus await you in addition to live music and a full bar. There are a variety of menu options, including sandwiches, lunch specials (Wednesday - Saturday) and special options for the kids."

On warm days, droves of beachgoers will wind down with the daily 4pm-7pm happy hour, where cocktails are $9, beers are $7 and snacks such as crispy squash blossoms clock in at $10."

"For a trendy, California style meal in Miami Beach, Upland Miami is all the rage. The décor fuses coastal and rustic style to create an intimate dining room made from the finest materials.
