Art Me Up: A Gallery Guide to Miami’s Thriving Arts Scene
The IndependentPérez Art Museum Miami Kick off your trip with a visit to PAMM, located in the heart of Downtown. Rubell Museum Head north to the artsy Allapattah neighbourhood to explore the Rubell Museum – home to one of the largest private collections of contemporary art in the US. Here you’ll find installations like Fly Eye’s Dome – a giant fibreglass sphere by architect Buckminster Fuller – alongside high-end fashion boutiques, trendy restaurants and eclectic galleries; among them Locust Projects, a non-profit space where emerging artists are given wild reign on their exhibitions. But the district’s crowning glory is the Institute of Contemporary Art – a striking, metallic behemoth showcasing works by giants such as Pablo Picasso and Roy Lichtenstein alongside local, Cuban-born and Latin American artists. Housed in a striking Art Deco building, the museum hosts regular exhibitions, with interactive murals, soundscapes and sculptures scattering the nearby Collins Park as part of its ‘Art Outside’ trail.
