Best Museums in Princeton

"Relocated in the Museum Park of Downtown Miami in 2013, the popular Perez Art Museum Miami, also known as PAMM, is a confluence of culture and art at its best. Designed by the reputed architectural firm Herzog & De Meuron, Perez Art Museum Miami is a three-floored gallery consisting of art displays from Latin America to Africa to the Caribbean. Founded in 1984, earlier PAMM was regarded as the Centre for Fine Arts which continues to collect contemporary artworks of the 20th and 21st centuries."

"Featuring international modern and contemporary art, the museum’s collection showcases the diversity of the 20th and 21st century through art from the US Latino experience, the African diaspora, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The Pérez Art Museum Miami building was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron based on the 1930s design of Stiltsville homes built offshore. It has wide-open spaces and outstanding views, making it a must in all the things to do in Miami."

"The Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science are both near Brickell, and they’re adjacent to the sprawling Museum Park. If you opt for the science museum, don’t miss the planetarium show!. Afterward, relax at Museum Park, and watch the cruise ships sail away between 4 pm and 6 pm."

"But Wynwood Walls is a total classic of the Miami art scene and a definite must-have on your list of Miami Instagram shots. Whether you choose to capture the murals by themselves or set them up as background to your next selfie, these gorgeous murals are bound to elevate and totally Miami-fy your feed."

"In the midst of rusted warehouses and concrete blah, there's a pastel-and-graffiti explosion of urban art. Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard that invariably..."

"The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has come a long way since its inception as a single gallery space in 1981.

Among those showcased in the MOCA permanent collection are Keith Haring, Gabriel Orozco and José Bedia, with the collection boasting a whopping 500 works of art."

"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."

"South Florida – a land of escaped slaves, guerrilla Native Americans, gangsters, land grabbers, pirates, tourists, drug dealers and alligators – has a special history, and it takes a special kind of museum to... Top ChoiceMuseum in Downtown Miami"

"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 art museum is a centerpiece of the University of Miami, and is home to a variety of Native American, ancient Egyptian, Renaissance and Baroque, Asian, and European originals. The Lowe is the oldest art museum in Miami, which originally opened in 1950 as an art display across the classrooms in the building. Originally established through a gift by Joe and Emily Lowe, this stunning 17,500-piece collection includes paintings from Claude Monet, African sculptures from 500 BCE, Asian costumes, medieval manuscripts, and The Samuel H. Kress collection."

"Miami's reputation on the international art scene tends to focus on the new. The Magic City is the place where, once a year, collectors from around the world come to scope out the cutting edge of contemporary art. But what about the old?"

"Located midway between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, on Watson Island, This museum offers exciting things to do in Miami for the young and those young at heart. The Miami Children’s Museum presents 14 interactive and bilingual exhibits and daily family-friendly events for visitors to explore. You can pick up a souvenir from the Kid Smart Educational Gift Shop and enjoy a meal at Subway while you spend a fun day at the Miami Children’s Museum."

"There is nothing like a good children’s museum, and the Miami Children’s Museum is a great example of that. Located on Watson Island in Miami, families can run around and explore this 56,000+ square foot museum for hours and never get bored. Kids can play, learn, create, and imagine in the 14 interactive (and bilingual!) exhibits."

"While not shooting from the museum itself, head under the bridge and see why this is one of my favorite spots. Sunset and night are my favorite times at this awesome spot."

"Arrive at the de la Cruz Collection ready to learn and explore the expanses of the visual arts. The museum, owned by Cuba natives Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz, is rife with thought-provoking exhibits like the current “Progressive Praxis,” which delves into the implications of technology on contemporary art. The de la Cruz Collection is pleasing to both visitors’ artistic curiosities and their wallets--admission is completely free of charge!"

"The best neighborhood bar is the one closest to home, but Bougainvillea's, a snug self-described "old Florida tavern" near the Shops at Sunset Place, is worth the trek. Built inside a '40s-era cottage, it's a fine place to sip wine and contemplate humanity or to down beers with friends. The lights are generally set to dim, there's a fireplace, and some tables are set up outside."

"Miami River is undoubtedly one of the city's best backdrops when it comes to outdoor dining, and River Yacht Club has always been a top destination for Instagram-worthy snapshots of the the city lights glinting off the water -- and now the iconic location has added Dashi, a progressive new Japanese restaurant, to the mix. Having opened as recently as last week, the venue's kitchen is helmed by Chef Shuji Hiyakawa, a protégé of Iron Chef Masahuru Morimoto, and serves up an innovative menu of fresh sushi & sashimi, udon, salads and craft cocktails. https://riveryachtclub.com"

Their journey inspired them to eat sweet while eliminating ingredients that may cause allergic reactions or spark food intolerances—all of their products and vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free. From cookies to cupcakes, you’ll fall in love with vegan at The Chocolate Chip Bakery."

"This Valentine’s Day, the notoriously sweet dessert destination will feature a shareable Heart-Shaped Nutella Stuffed Cookie ($25).

"Another colorfully named Coconut Grove bar, this nautically-themed dive bar whisks you away to the Florida Keys and offers an impressive 52 taps to choose from. As you may have guessed, they specialize in seafood but vegetarians can fill their stomachs with waffle fries and garlic bread. This is a big hangout for University of Miami students so you may want to come early if you want to enjoy your beer in (relative) peace."
