¡Azúcar! Celebrating Celia's 100th Birthday is the latest exhibit at the Coral Gables Museum, honoring Celia's trajectory and life. The museum is cozy and transmits a historic vibe, being set in the old firehouse station, and features a charming patio perfect for enjoying a refreshing afternoon or a starry night. The exhibit is beautifully curated and full of life, it truly immerses you in her journey and fills you with the energy of her achievements. It's inspiring to see Celia throughout all her phases, uplifting your spirit and reminding you of the incredible, adventurous experiences life can bring. I really appreciate when institutions pay homage to true Latin icons with all the glory that a symbol of Latin music and culture deserves. Even though the exhibit is small, it's a joyful little capsule of azúcar that reminds you that life is a carnival of happiness. La Reina Celia will always live on through us, every time we dance to her rhythms and step into her world. Just wish it would be a little bigger as the ticket might be a little bit expensive for the exhibitions space and offer (my only reason I don't that the final star it deserves). Coral Gables Museum, keep nourishing our spirit with exhibits like this. read more

Coral Gables Museum - Fila enorme - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

WOW! What a beautiful gem! I'm honestly in shock I didn't know about the Coral Gables Museum beforehand but this venue is gorgeous. Located in the heart of the Gables this museum is the perfect spot to host lovely evening looking at the stars. I came here for a private event and was fascinated by the Spanish inspired architecture, bistro lights, star gazing and the live music + food that was brought by outside vendors leading it to be the most perfect night. The place itself is spacious, airy, and cozy all at the same time. If you're looking to host a private event that will transport you to a European night, this is the spot! read more

Great hidden gem in Coral Gables. I stumbled upon this place while walking off a huge meal from one of the nearby restaurants. I had no clue Coral Gables had so much character. I was able to catch part of the walking tour with the guide and she gave great background which helped fill in many gaps for me since I'm not from miami. The museum director John, also helped answer some questions for me. Great experience. read more

Its always nice to preserve a piece of history, and this Museum offers that, as well as the building being very pleasing to the eye. Did you know that originally the museum was the Fire and Police station? it is also known as the The City of Coral Gables Public Safety Building. It is now recognized as a historic site in Coral Gables, Florida. The building was completed in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration project, and it was designed by Phineas Paist. In 2003, steps were taken to preserve the building and its legacy and by 2011, it was reopened to the public as the Coral Gables Museum. The museum is very informative. I have also been here for a food event once, which was situated outside in the front plaza, where they draped fairy lights, making it super pretty, especially at night time. The location is also great too, very near Miracle, Mile, Ponce De leon and the newly re designed car free street -the Giralda plaza. Definitely worthy of a look, especially if you are a history buff, and love and appreciate the old style architecture like I do. When you stand in front of the main building look up and notice the three faces, with what looks like fire men helmets... (see my pictures and you will see what I mean!) read more

Had no idea what a gem this museum is! My husband and I happened to have some time to kill before our dinner reservations in Coral Gables and we learned the first Friday was gallery night for local museums and that this one was a short walk from dinner. The museum had a live band and cocktails for the special event, along with free admission. We happened to walk in just as a tour was scheduled and our guide, Ian, told us all about not just the content in the museum but the history of the building itself. It was really cool to learn that the building was a fire station/police station and Ian even pointed out that the floors were the original and you could see where the fire truck tire tracks were and where the jail cells were segmented - so cool! Aside from the building being a work of art itself, inside there was an electric mix of art and history that had something for everyone. I had honestly assumed this was purely a history museum and might be a little dry in its exhibits but not the case at all. Although it's small, it's very cool how much diversity is on there exhibits. Coming for gallery night was also really nice because we got to enjoy some time after hours with live music and a drink on their beautiful courtyard. Definitely check out this museum! read more

We bought a Groupon for this museum for something like $7 for two people, but it turns out that we didn't need it because admission was free during our visit in July. The special exhibit was being changed, so there wasn't too much of the museum to see. Hubby and I enjoy the Coral Gables area, so it made for a nice day out to come here, see the umbrella exhibit a few streets over and have lunch. The museum itself is in a beautiful building, the architecture in this area is quite lovely. It was nice to learn more about this area and the first settlers in the first exhibit that we walked through. There is quite a bit of info on the Merrick family that helped establish this area. The museum itself is located in the old police and fire station, this building was constructed as part of FDR's the new deal. We wish we had been able to see a larger section of the museum, but we still enjoyed our trip here. I'd plan on spending 45-75 minutes here as it's not a huge spot. read more

One of my fav things to do during the Summer with my daughter is museum hop and check out museums' new exhibits. The Coral Gables Museum didn't disappoint. It's smaller than the other (305) museums but it's packed with Coral Gables history and of Miami as a whole. When I was there, they had this exhibit called "The Art of Compassion". It depicted through the lens of 20 or so photographers the life of former incarcerated women. Some photos and their stories brought my daughter and I to tears and some made us uncomfortable to talk about so I guess the exhibit did what it was intended...to make us feel, react and have an open dialogue. Truly worth the experience shared with my daughter and able to discuss kindness, tolerance and the blessings one has. If visiting the (305) or a resident, this museum is worth the visit. Enjoy..! read more

Coral Gables Museum - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

The Coral Gables Museum is housed in a historic 1939 Works Progress Administration building. Where you purchase your tickets was the police station and down the hall to the right was the courthouse. In 2003 the non-profit Coral Gables Museum Corp was formed for the purpose of creating the museum. In 2008 restoration began on the building and it's first full year of operation was in 2011. In 2013 the visitors center for Coral Gables was added. I decided to visit the museum after running into a group from the museum giving a tour of Pinewood Cemetery. After visiting the Merrick home I came over to see what else I could learn about Coral Gables. Regular admission is $10 but they had a special exhibit that you could tour for $5 more. It's called Sacred Ground, the Rise, Fall, & Revival of Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery. When I inquired I was told it was in Brownsville and I thought they meant Texas. I had no idea there was a Brownsville Miami or that there was a cemetery there. I like visiting cemeteries for learning about history so I opted to add the exhibit. I started to look around but I didn't really understand what I was looking at. The exhibit is comprised of video, photos, documents, and items taken from the cemetery. Fortunately the director of the museum John Allen arrived to give a tour of the exhibit and explain the fascinating story. Lincoln Memorial was created by Dr. Kelsey Pharr who was trained as an embalmer in Boston. He started out burying lynching victims on ground owned by F.B. Miller who offered to sell the land to Pharr when he found out what was happening. With help in the form of a loan from the Burdines, Pharr finished paying off the land in 1937 and began burying members of the African American community. People buried here include Dana Albert Dorsey, Miami's first black millionaire, Gwen Sawyer Cherry first African-American woman in the legislature, Dr. William Sawyer, a protégé of W.E.B. Dubois, and H.E.S Reeves who founded the Miami Times, the city's first black newspaper. Also buried here are the people who physically built Coral Gables, war veterans, and 95 African Americans who were victims of a forced labor camp during the Jim Crow era. All of them are residing in cracked and decaying above ground stone coffins choked over with weeds. After the Pharr's passed away and they are buried here as well, the cemetery passed into the hands of a god daughter who has since died and left it to her niece Jessica Williams. In the 1990's the cemetery began to fall apart and there is no money to restore it. The museum has partnered with the owner for the exhibit and to help do clean ups. The only care taker is Arthur Kennedy and he is not paid. He appointed himself caretaker when he came to find the grave of his grandfather and he is still looking. The museum is trying to assist him with finding his grandfather and straightening out the burial records. I have been to the cemetery and words fail to adequately describe the scene. It has been vandalized and there are coffins next to the street. I saw rats and garbage. It is a shame to see that the most historically important African American cemetery has deteriorated into such disgraceful state. Families are not able to visit the graves of their loved ones. I applaud the museum for the work they are doing. The exhibit has some wonderful photographs by a Pulitzer prize winning photographer and I highly recommend a visit and a tour. The rest of the museum is dedicated to the history of George Merrick and Coral Gables. There is also a wing housing works of art. Since I had just come from the Merrick house I didn't linger here but if you don't know anything about the history of Coral Gables it is an informative exhibit. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the museum. The building itself and what it houses are important historical resources. The museum offers different tours in the city like the one I saw at Pinewood. When you finish your visit you can catch a bite to eat at the Books & Books cafe next door. read more

Really cool! Definitely going back to check it out again! I was able to go to the museum For Artopia, so it wasn't a "normal" museum visit (or maybe it was, but I don't think so). I walked the museum several times and really liked (what I called) the "Pink Floyd Pyramid" and the "old car". I am sure there are other awesome exhibits but I was completely distracted by the great food, music, entertainment and all the goings on of Artopia! Hialeah's Finest were hilarious! Artopia rocked and the museum is great! 4 stars is for the museum! Artopia would be 5! Will update after next visit read more

Coral Gables Museum - @ the southflorodabloggersawards - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Artopia 2016 was a cool event with lots of food, rock music and art work that was open for us to see in the Coral Gables Museum. When you walk in they had lots of tents with different restaurants that were giving out their favorite dishes with many of them offering coupons and menus so you can go and check out their spot. My favorite was ceviche bar that I got to try their classic ceviche dish. Red Koi was also their and the chicken curry dish was also pretty yum. The alchol scene was Beck's and a russian vodka that was alright. The museum had a really cool show that had a women dancing with fluorescent paint all over her body and the back ground was a canvas that was also splattered with fluorescent paint everywhere (downloaded vid in my pics). Overall a really cool event hope they have another one next year. read more

I need to spend more time in the Gables if there are venues (and, museums) like the Coral Gables Museum populating the area. It's so welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. In a region where buildings with character are said not to exist (in large numbers), the CGM laughs in the face of cookie cutter apathy and gives visitors a glimpse of what happens when the classic meets the modern. Tall ceilings, hardwood floors, expansive rooms, classic exterior, inviting rooftop, and luxurious windows are just some of the attributes that make the museum such a winner. The building's u-shape (and enticing courtyard) make navigating it a snap. Upon entering and walking the grounds, it's easy to believe that you've been transported to Greece (not like I've been, but I've seen pictures; someone needs to sponsor me for a trip... I'm waiting... Seriously... Where are you??). The archways and cloisters respectfully remind you that you're in a museum while the modern interior whispers that it's alright to party. No matter your mindset, you're sure to feel at home here. But if you're coming to the museum to, oh-I-don't-know, visit a museum, you're in luck as well. I find the collections to be very interesting. As someone interested in urban exploration, discovering the why and how of Coral Gables coming into being, is very entertaining. In addition to posters, artifacts, maps, and placards, there's plenty of interactive art and educational paraphernalia to entrance your young ones and not-so-young ones. While I was there, there was a fascinating exhibit about combining fashion with ecology for purposes of conservation and commerce. Sounds wild, right? It was. I was entertained as I learned. That's a good thing. Spend a day getting some culture in and discovering more about your (greater) metro. You'll be happy you did so. Plus, it's pretty. We all like pretty, right? read more

Although not as well-known as other museums like the Lowe Art Museum, the Perez Art Museum, or The Wolfsonian, the Coral Gables Museum is still worth visiting. The museum focuses mostly on local history, so if you're into history, then you will definitely like it. Everything here is historical -- including the building! Did you know that the building housing the museum is the former Coral Gables Police and Fire Station? You may be wondering why there are sculptures of firefighters on the building's facade, and this is why. This is a 1939 Mediterranean Revival building made of coral rock. Not only that, but since it was a police station, there was also a courthouse and jail cells in the building too. Makes you wonder if the place is haunted! My main reason in coming was that I was interested in the "Trailblazers: The Perilous Story of the Tamiami Trail" exhibit. I love The Everglades and wanted to read more about the history of building a trail through which vehicles could pass, and the impact it had and will continue having on The Everglades, especially now that they want to further expand the trail and damage the park by creating a biking trail named the River of Grass Greenway (see http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/environment/article17148134.html). This exhibit will be available through next year, if you're interested. Other exhibits were "Creating the Dream: George E. Merrick and his Vision for Coral Gables", which is an ongoing exhibit about the pioneer, the creation and development of the city, and included some interesting information, such as The Villages, something I knew nothing about before. There was also the "Ludlam Trail" exhibit which goes on until next year and shows the history of the site from pine rocklands to visions of what the trail could be, and "Anne Morgan's War", an exhibit about American volunteer women that rebuilt France during and after World War I -- it contained some pictures and interesting information to read, but will no longer be on display at this time (it was on exhibit only until the end of November). Apparently, they hold events such as music concerts, book signings by authors, activities for kids, and even nightly events like gallery night happy hours. I could not get their website to load however, so I cannot confirm all these events. Parking can be found in a nearby museum garage or on the street. At $7 for admission, it's not bad at all! read more

Not a super exciting museum; spent about 40 minutes here. If you're into history, specifically about Coral Gables, then this may be more interesting for you. If I were visiting from out of town, this would NOT be a destination on my list. I got free passes to this museum, otherwise I would have been very disappointed paying the $7 admission to check out this 2 wing museum. My friend and I were the only people here on a Saturday. The hostess could have been a little more enthusiastic; would have been nice for her to greet us, or say anything for that matter. One wing had a photography exhibit with photos from the public. Some sort of photography contest going on. The middle of the museum displays the history of Coral Gables and the guy who designed it (George Merrick). The other wing had exhibits about the 4 National Parks in Florida. It was nice to read about the highlights of each park. Did you know the Everglades is the 3rd largest Park in the contiguous US? Come here and find out which are the largest 2, or just Google it. Parking: pay for street parking or park in the public garage across the street ($1/hr) read more

The Coral Gables Museum is a beautiful location to have an event. I just had my wedding on November 14 and everything was beyond superb. The venue offers many different areas to hold your event. I booked both the inside room and the entire outside area. We hosted our ceremony on the outside courtyard then guests were escorted to the rooftop for the cocktail hour. After the cocktail hour, guests were escorted to the inside room. The inside room is pretty simple and plain, which was great for us since we hate ballroom looking rooms. We had the freedom to decorate as we pleased without having those typical ugly curtains or chandeliers in our way. The inside room has windows with a view to Aragon Street. We just had our lighting tech install up lights which created a gorgeous ambiance. Christine Rupp was amazing. She is extremely nice and accommodating. We were able to do a contract and finalize all the details very quickly. The process is very simple and easy. We were able to do everything we wanted and more. We are both extremely happy we decided to host our wedding at the Coral Gables Museum! read more

I will definitely go back to visit the Museum or to attend or organize an event. read more

Love, Love the Coral Gables Museum. Today as always it was immaculately clean. This Museum offers the history of Coral Gables. I went by today to set up my kids (5 yrs old) for summer camp. We've tried several other places that offer summer camp but my kids enjoyed this one the most. The kids not only play they also learn. The summer camp is 10 weeks long and they have a new theme every two weeks. They also have field trips and water days. Street parking is available. The museum is conveniently located in the center of Coral Gables. With many restaurants and shops around it. read more

Where to start...? Credit to the Architect: Jorge Hernandez...and congratulations to the City for bringing this project to life. The historic fire station that has been saved and for quite some time used as a department in the city, received a major cleanup/facelift and a nice addition to the north, including a public plaza. As a fan and supporter of historic preservation, it is with great pleasure that this gem was saved and even more so found a new use. Furthermore, the building is in line to receive the USGBC LEED certification, which means that it incorporates many sustainable features, water and energy savings and better construction means and methods. It is also very well connected and accessible without the need to use your car to do more than just take a quick look. I was also pleased to be the opening speaker for the latest exhibit on renewable energy sources out of Germany (June-July 2011) and provide a small overview of what that means for South Florida to a group of residents and VIP's (including former mayor of Coral Gables Don Slesnick and the German consulate general, Countess Kendeffy). The space is truly well designed and provides a sample of how good architecture (and quality construction) can pass the test of time, even in this young country of ours... When in the area, stop by to indulge in a small part of history and check out ongoing events and exhibits. read more

Fantastic experience and history. I visited the museum with my girlfriend. Patrick at the front desk welcomed us and gave us a brief history of the building. The building is one of the first in the city and served as a jail, courthouse and many other things. It was a great experience and I highly recommended it. The coral rock walls, antique floors, outdoor courtyard decorated with fresh herbs, is absolutely worth the trip. It's a gem in Coral Gables and for Miami; a wonderful experience. read more

This past Thursday evening, I visited the marvelous Coral Gables Museum in order to attend the opening of its most recent photography exhibit, The Art of Compassion. This incredibly meaningful and human project celebrates women who have traditionally lived in the shadows - formerly incarcerated women who are re-entering society. Curated by photographer and producer Starr Sariego, these powerful photographs provide insight in to the lives of formerly incarcerated women, more than 80% of whom were victims of childhood trauma. I highly recommend seeing this important exhibit and applaud Coral Gables Museum for showcasing it. I wish I had seen several other exhibits that this fine, visionary museum has offered in the past. Next door to Book & Books, a favorite spot for most everyone in Miami, Coral Gables Museum is located in the heart of the City Beautiful on Aragon Avenue. It is a historically designated architectural gem featuring the typical Mediterranean Revival of downtown Coral Gables but with elements of Depression Moderne as well. Coral rock in construction, it served as a police and fire station in the past hence the sculptures depicting Coral Gables firemen on its exterior in addition to decorative artwork. I didn't explore the entire museum complex during this visit, so I plan to return and take a proper guided tour and participate in its downtown walking tours. Lauded for its culturally relevant exhibits and celebration of the civic arts, Coral Gables Museum is a must-see. I've been to its delightful gift shop several times to purchase one-of-a-kind cards and several other eclectic gift items. It's the ideal spot to shop if you need to pick up something for the person who has everything. There's ample parking with a garage across the street as well as metered street parking. If you are as guilty as I am for not visiting this grand museum sooner, head over there today and enjoy a splendid afternoon! read more

All locations have a history. Whether it is archived through photographs or journals, these histories need to be documented and stored. So when I went to the Coral Gables Museum this weekend for the Artisan Food Festival, I witnessed the glowing years of accomplishments and trials made and faced by Coral Gables during its formative years. The exhibitions were standard for a venue this size--blown-up pictures and artwork displayed with copy describing events that defined and most importantly, refined Coral Gables. All exhibitions were able to be viewed under 30 minutes, so I wish this museum had much more to see. It was rich in history, but not rich in quantity of context. However, there was enough information provided to help you if you ever play a Coral Gables themed trivial pursuit game. Reiterating the reviews of previous Yelpers, the museum space is beautiful. The outside is made of concrete rock, which gives it a Greek coliseum-esque feel. Also, when first going through the door, you are exposed to beautiful hardwood floors and a receptionist who is enthusiastic to answer all your questions and point you in the right direction. She was very friendly and made my visit overall a pleasant visit. For those who want to relax outside, there is an open patio area equipped with a vintage fountain. It is the type of place you could read a book for hours and breathe in fresh air. For those who want to leave with a peace of history, there is a gift shop. In conclusion, I would probably come back to the Coral Gables Museum to relax. I will keep my eye out for upcoming events happening in this venue. The open gallery spaces helped me appreciate the freshly made items provided in the Artisan Food Festival. It was definitely a refreshing area among the hustle and bustle of Miami. read more

Ummm no clue what they are talking about when it comes to Artopia. For starters as a VIP of 3 full price tickets, where was the band, the fashion show and even more than one (at least they were the best wit the mini tacos) food samplers in the VIP area? Your venue was way crowed in many places to deal with your ticket sales. The museum itself is absolutely beautiful. They should have opened the entire museum for the VIP price.... led you to believe it would be. Reality check. The venue was excellent the idea was excellent the fruition was well intended. The very thru epic failure highly disappointed after driving 1 1/2 hour in Miami traffic to get there. Simply to jammed! Not enough artist!! After all it was Artopia! The 5 stars is for the location. The museum is not at fault. I was happy to support the cause disappointed in the execution of the event itself. No wonder they took down the website! read more
