Phenomenal experience Re-visiting one of the first museums I went to when I was a kid! I still remember that elementary school field trip & the magic it brought me! I think Museum Miami was where I fell in love with South Florida!!! It showed me soooo much beauty that was & IS in my own backyard! Going back decades later & I can still feel the same magic & joy!!!! Can't wait to return! read more

The Museum of Miami, formerly History Miami Museum is a special place for visitors. The museum displays great special exhibits and events as well as permanent collections, with 40,000 artifacts. The museum was one of eight in the United States selected to showcase the Freedom Plane National Tour of historic documents including a draft of the Constitution, the Treaty of Paris and the Articles of Association. The exhibit is on through July 5, 2026 in celebration of the nation's 250th birthday. Parking in the cultural center garage is validated for a reduced rate of five dollars. read more

I had not been to this location since it was called the History Museum, but yesterday I got to go again for an event and I had a great time. I need to go back and look at things with more time because we did a scavenger hunt so was a bit in a hurry, but some of installments were soooo interesting and cool that I must go back to explore. It is def a nice place to go out with friends or family especially now in the summer heat or on a rainy day. read more

Museum, noun, a place where one goes to learn about the past and to see old things. As it were, we saw a bank of payphones as we were leaving! As I get ready to write this review, I just realized, I had been coming to the history Miami Museum for a long time. From one of my first fourth grade field trips to their educational boat cruises around the bay presented by museum lecturer Dr. Paul George. However, this most recent visit was thanks to Farah and Yelp's invite for the "Waves of Change" exhibit opening night. This exhibit focused on Miami's history as a fashion capital especially when it came to beachwear. I had the chance to see the different historical eras, and see some models showing them. There was also an interactive station where people could come up with their own designs. On the note of the more things change the more they stay the same, there was a poster telling how Carl Fisher (the founder of Miami Beach) would send pictures of the beautiful Miami ladies in swimsuits to investors up north so they could come to Miami. So basically 1920s / 30s Thirst traps :) Some other notable exhibits included Polaroids of the Liberty City area, as well as general Miami scenery. The free drinks by Bacaradi (Coconut, Mango Chile & classic) made for a perfect happy hour vibe; of the passed bites, my favorites were the Thai chicken & the Arancini. Thank You again Farah & Yelp Miami for this fun Friday! read more

I've come to the History Miami Museum for events, openings, and just to peruse the gallery. I really love the open terrace outside before you walk in. It's beautiful architecture really makes you feel like you are part of historical Miami. And if you love all things Miami History, like me, this museum is just for you! Last time I was here was for the Walter Mercado exhibit which was amazing. We were also able to visit the other building which has more museum exhibits. This particular evening we came in through the courtesy of Yelp to the grand opening of the Waves of Style Swimwear through the Decades opening night event. The event had a drinks and passed bites and allowed you the opportunity to enter the museum and see the new exhibit on the second floor. A fantastic evening was had with my Yelp squad and the event was so much fun. A wonderful way to spend a night in Miami immersed in history and fun. I definitely want to become a museum member and purchase a membership. read more

I had a great time at the museum this month. It was my first time there and I'm glad I got to go via a Yelp Elite event.

I enjoyed my visit and would like to go back another time to see other exhibits. read more

I really enjoyed this exhibit. The first floor has all of what describes Miami like Gloria Estefan and Celia Cruz dolls, a boat that Cubans came to Miami, and a cigar label maker.

I had such an amazing time. Thanks Yelp for collaborating with Miami Museum for this amazing event. read more

I was able to score free tickets through the library and took my mom to History Miami. She isn't usually a fan of museums but she really enjoyed this one. I also found it very interesting. It has great pictures and artifacts about Miami and its development. As a born and raised Miami girl I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of Miami throughout the years throughout the museum. The museum is comprised of two buildings with a lot of stairs in both. They do have elevators too. But worth noting for people with mobility issues. One building houses the history of Miami that's displayed chronologically. The other building houses exhibits and special artifacts. The exhibit we got to see was one on the evolution of swimwear. It was fascinating if you're into fashion. All in all, this is a great activity to do on a rainy day or a slower day. We took about 2 hours to finish the whole museum. read more

As someone who's been Yelping for a long time, I was genuinely excited to be selected for my very first official Yelp Elite event. I've applied to many others--like FoodFest and various ticketed tastings--and hadn't been chosen before, so when I got the invite to this exhibit launch at the HistoryMiami Museum, I cleared my schedule and showed up with high hopes. The concept was solid: a historical swimwear exhibit in a city synonymous with sun and sand. That tracks. But unfortunately, the execution fell flat. The first thing that stood out was how sparse the crowd was. I expected more energy, more people, and honestly, more opportunities to mingle. As someone who attended solo (after asking about a plus-one and never hearing back), I found it difficult to engage or meet other attendees. The vibe was fragmented, with small cliques huddled together, but no real effort to create a welcoming or interactive environment for new or solo guests. There was an open bar, but even that felt like an afterthought. The offerings were minimal--no mixers beyond the absolute basics, and I was surprised they didn't even have pineapple juice, especially for a Miami event sponsored by Bacardi. I settled for a rum and Diet Coke, which, let's be honest, is more "dive bar" than "Elite event." But the most disappointing aspect? No food. None. Not even a cheese cube in sight. This is Yelp, after all--a platform built on celebrating food and dining. I expected at least light bites or hors d'oeuvres, maybe even some small samplings from local restaurants. A missed opportunity. As for the exhibit, it was...fine. Charming, even. A couple of rooms showcasing historical swimsuits with some interesting anecdotes. I did learn a thing or two, and the museum itself is always worth a visit--but it's small, and the exhibit lasted maybe 15 minutes, tops. In short, this felt like a missed opportunity for Yelp Miami. I'm still glad I went--if only for the novelty of finally being invited--but I sincerely hope future events feel more curated, inclusive, and on-brand for what Yelp does best: connecting people through food and local culture. read more

I came for the Waves of Style exhibition opening and it was great. They had places where you can snap photos with Waves of Style props and individuals dressed in the theme. In the lobby area, there was also a DJ and an open bar. The drinks were traditional open bar drinks but they were good. I toured the museum, including the Waves of Style exhibition, and I loved it. It was interesting to see history of swimwear through the Miami's perspective. It was also neat to see what Miami looks like through the artist's perspective. I also loved how they had a section where you can sit down and design your own bathing suit on paper with different type of prints and all material needed. It was simple yet fun to do. Towards the end of the night they served hors d' Oeuvres and they were all tasty. This was definitely something different to do in Miami. I absolutely enjoyed it. read more

I was born and raised in Miami, so this museum has a special place in my heart. I used to come here with my Mom when I was a kid, back then it was called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. I loved all the exhibits. I also came here (and the public library next door) on field trips with my class. It's still the only museum dedicated to the history of Miami and its people. I love all the exhibits, my only complaint is that they don't have a gift shop! read more

It's a museum all about Miami! The museum is split into 2 buildings: one houses exhibits about present day Miami and rotating exhibits, the other houses exhibits focusing on the history of Miami. Many of the items in the present day Miami section have been donated to the museum by the people of Miami and feel like something you might find in a grandma's attic or hoarder's house, but are still interesting. Previous reviews have commented on how small this museum is, which is true, but Miami isn't that old. Plus, you can get through the whole museum in about an hour and still learn a lot. There are several times throughout the year that the museum offers free admission. read more

I accidentally found this museum because of its free admission on a rainy day. The space is small (for anyone who has gone to things like the smithsonian or any of the field museum or NYC museums). But it's nicely locally focused. When I was there local artisans were present for a canoe carving and other activities. The gridiron hall of fame exhibit was very well done. Both the team nostalgia and interactive prices like getting to measure your hand size against pro quarterback grips or leg size against a lineman were great. Warning- you will pass a lot of homeless and a needle exchange on your way in. Park close or get dropped off. read more

What a gem historymiami is located in downtown Miami. It consists of two buildings with two levels each. The first building contains historic Indian artifacts along with detailed history, pictures, and videos of Miami from its founding to the 80s. It's a multiple room set up with different screens and information which are interactive. I really enjoyed going through the different displays and learning about the city I love so much. The second building is more contemporary and hosts rotating exhibitions. When I went the It's A Miami Thing exhibit was going on in celebration of 125th anniversary of Miami. They offer guided tours on Saturday and have family days the 2nd Saturday of each month which is free to the public but if you can't make it tickets are still super affordable they range between $10-15 bucks. This place is a must visit for history buffs, or if your looking for something cool to do it's a great place to spend a couple of hours. I was pleasantly surprised on how much of a good time I had. Definitely will be back. read more

These folks are incredibly impressive. I happened upon a tour group near Brickell that was visiting the Tequesta Indian "circles" unearthed when doing foundations for the Met Square development. Hats off to the developer for preserving Native American artifacts in such an informative and accessible way (and they changed interior decoration motifs to Native American designs). History Miami administers the artifact sites. History Miami's guide was phenomenal. It takes a lot for me to stand in the sun on a 95-degree day for more than 2 minutes in business casual clothes, and she was absolutely worth the sweaty shirt. She was better than the local PBS documentary special on the circles. As a bonus, she was very sweet in letting me randomly attach myself mid-route to her tour group. The two Tequesta circles themselves are beautifully preserved examples of foundations for the original Native American inhabitant villages in the area that is now Miami. As mentioned I had seen this on PBS, but it is incredibly cool to see in person. It adds a whole other layer of history prior to Henry Flagler, Art Deco, Vizcaya and Maseratis on Ocean Drive. Miami is not such a brand-new 21st Century creature with nothing older than 20 minutes after all... One circle is a simple glass balustrade enclosure facing the street just across the entrance from the Epic Hotel. Just look for the niche in the building corner diagonally across from the Epic entrance driveway. The other is indoors preserved beneath a glass floor. Both the tour and the visit to the circles are free. Speaking of free, take the Metromover driverless train to the Bayfront Park stop, and walk south about a block to the Tequesta Circles by the Met Square apartment and office complex. Call History Miami to find out tour times. read more

A very informative museum with lots of cultural information for children and adults to learn from. It makes you feel proud of being Hispanic and being part of Miami (at least that's the feeling I get when I visit it). My kids love the trolley train, the fort, and pioneer garden. BUT most of all they enjoy is the museum's monthly family day activities. We have gone for Pirate Day, mythic creature day, and Willy Chirino celebration just to name a few. For pirate day not only did they have arts and craft activities, but also someone saying stories and provided pirate hats. I have to say as much as my kids enjoy it, I enjoy it too. It really is a hidden gem like many others have mentioned in their review. I don't think it gets as much credit as it should. I'm surprised it's not as popular as other museums. Also, a big bonus is that the museum validates your parking ticket for $5, when you park in the cultural center garage. Check it out! read more

Miami is known worldwide as a "fiesta city"; but although it doesn't have a lot of museums like other big cities, if you are interested in culture, you can find some good venues/events here as well. One of them if the History Miami Museum, located Downtown, in an area frequented by a lot of people not as fortunate as we all are, but frankly I never had a problem walking there (at least during the day). We found this little gem thanks to a Groupon offer, and went to Miami last month for a day trip just to see the museum. Unfortunately we found it closed, and there was no sign at all at the entrance, nothing indicated on their website, no special message on their answering machine... It was a passer-by that reminded us it was Veteran's Day: our fault for not having thought of that, but I'm still rating the museum 4 stars instead of 5 because of their lack of proper communication (potential international visitors won't know that city's offices are closed for Veteran's Day). So we took another day trip to Miami this month to go and see the museum. The museum consists in 2 buildings of 2 floors, and you start your visit in the building displaying items belonging to the most recent history of Miami. I understand that in this section they also have special exhibits, but unfortunately there was none not when we visited. I found the second building much more interesting: it goes from the old times and also has more items. The place is small, but I think we stayed in the second building for almost a couple of hours: I loved it! It's very informative, shows lots of very old pictures, a video, and makes you want to further study Miami's history. I really enjoyed my visit! read more

I really enjoy visiting museums, but unfortunately, seems like all Miami Museums constantly disappoint. I went to History Miami the first time recently, and got to see the Walter Mercado Exhibit. It was closed. From a distance I did get to see his gowns, they were really beautiful. The rest of the museum seemed a bit random, i did like the second floor where they had history of Florida, information about migration, pirates, early population, it was definitely informative, specially for me since im not from miami..

I visit this museum every Summer 'cause it has some truly magnificent exhibits. Last year, they had the "Street Traditions in Miami" which depicted the importance of an afternoon cafecito - to the eclectic & eye-catching murals around the city - to the folkloric fruit vendors in the (305). This year, the museum didn't disappoint with the "50 yrs. of Walter Mercado" Exhibit which with "mucho much amor" I reminisced my youthful years here in the (305) all while teaching my daughter who & why Walter Mercado is such an eminent presence in our Hispanic culture. Told my daughter as she giggled - that NYE wasn't complete 'till we heard Walter's New Year predictions & how to prepare for it....truth or not...you complied with all its floral baths, coconut rolling & incense burning details..! This museum which is comprised of 2 buildings is no small feat to visit but worth its nominal admission fee. Their permanent exhibit gives visitors in all its details, a History of Miami which if anybody thinks it's just bikinis, beautiful peeps & sunshine will quickly realize its diverse cultural richness & its persevered growth. Admission - $8/students - $10/adults but for the budget conscious, they do offer the Summer Passport Program. Basically, kids acquire a passport at the museum's front desk which gives them & up to four family members free entries during the Summer. FYI - If the Passport Program isn't your thing, the museum sponsors a free Family Fun Day on the second Saturday of every month with free admission for all. Whichever way you want to get in, it's definitely worth the visit & one of the best museums in Miami...Have fun...! read more

Since last year, my boyfriend has been going on about how much he wanted to visit HistoryMiami. While I love museums, I have to say this isn't one that caught my attention simply because I tend to prefer art museums and luscious gardens. Still, I enjoy getting cultured and my boyfriend wanted to go, so when I saw tickets discounted on Groupon, I bought them and figured we would go at some point. We finally went a few weekends ago. Turns out that the museum resembled a ghost town. There was hardly anyone there. At the front desk, there was one employee and he gave us pamphlets, as well as answered questions pertaining to the museum. This museum, for those unaware, has two buildings. The main building is where the front desk is and it hosts Florida history, while the second building hosts a more interactive section that is comprised of hands on exhibits, as well as visiting ones. The main building consists of two floors. The bottom floor currently has a Jackson Memorial exhibit listing over 100 years of service. There are also plenty of exhibits, speaking of more modern events like the recent Women's March usually in newspaper form. The top floor in comparison goes further into the past, presenting the beginnings of the railroad, the highways, and other transportation in Miami. Not to mention that they also have information on old cartography, boats, and even Native Americans. The second building also has two floors, but the first floor easily resembles a playground. You can play dominos, make bracelets, and even answer questions and put them on a screen. The second floor is much the same except you see more of what is modern Miami. In this case, it's plenty of Cuban history. I found that fine except for the fact that they had some cleaning products on display. Really now? Oh well; if nothing else, I got a laugh out of it. Worth a visit if you're curious, have nothing better else to do, or get a discount. Note that Bank of America members get in free on the second weekend of the month. read more

I recently went on a Miami History Museum tour of the Miami Cemetery. It was awesome. The tour was with Dr Paul George, who is a very well known if not the best known historian when it comes to the history of Miami. He does the tour every October around Halloween. It was fascinating and I learn so much that I didn't know about Miami history. The tour starts out with a visit to the tomb of Julia Tuttle, one of the original founders of the city of Miami. There was a reenactment where she told her history and it was just the right amount of spooky. We moved on through the tour stopping at many historic figures when it comes to Miami history. The Burdines also have their own tomb. There are many tombs of the original founders of Miami. I did not know that over half of the incorporators of Miami we're actually from Bimini and other parts of the Caribbean. Many of the graves of these incorporators are at the cemetery. I don't want to give all of the details away. I strongly suggest you take the tour yourself. Costumes are recommended but optional. :) I highly recommend ALL the tours of the Miami History Museum especially the ones by Dr. Paul George. read more

I give them five stars just because they were able to secure a full Birds of America collection from John James Audubon. I mean, I think there are three full copies in the world? I may be wrong, but these books (full) are extremely rare. They don't even have that collection at The Audubon House in Key West, although why would they? I have been here for several other exhibits, yet nothing to me has been as memorable as the Birds of America exhibit. Even the staff was excited to talk about it. I spent plenty of time with the curators talking about many many things regarding these prints. I was lucky I got plenty of information for a cheap ticket price. Other exhibits here may have been interesting but I no longer know if they took place here, or at the museum across from this one. I am not even sure if this is the Art Museum. But anyway, none of this will matter because, if my memory doesn't fail me (or maybe it does, so shoot me a message), they will be moving to the museum complex where PAMM is located. Anyway, wait for the Audubon collection to surface again and come see it. read more

This is a certainly a unique treat in the middle of downtown Miami. If you like traveling, which I do, and you like the history of the places you travel to, which I do, then the History Miami is the perfect place for you. It is unassuming, uncomplicated, not that busy and a hidden gem all rolled into one. The one thing that may make unsure to visit again is that once you walk through the 'history" part, then it comes across as "been there done that" so there might be no reason to come back. That with the fact it may not be for everyone makes it more a "might" see destination for everyone. The place is a bit oddly designed. It is separated by two different buildings, the true "History of Miami" permanent section is in the main building (where admissions is located), while the traveling exhibitions are in the secondary building. When I went there, was hardly anything on the first floor (much of it cordoned off), everything from both exhibits required a walk up a long flight of stairs on the second floor. The place is old (hey vintage!) and slightly dusty (oh ignored!), it felt like the place had not been visited by a large number of people in a long time, including local school children, and that made me really sad. (C'mon discover your hometown!) I went in the middle of the week during the month of October and the place was not busy at all. I swear at times I was the only person there, and there was only the one person at the admissions desk to explain what this place is all about and maybe two employees talking and walking about. It was odd and slightly off putting for sure. But on this day, what really drew me to visit History Miami was the Beatles in the secondary exhibit, and that did not disappoint. Nor did the adjacent exhibit of the history of Latin music, which was more of a pictorial/ mural showcase than artifact showcase. Both were totally fascinating and beautifully curated. And at tickets for 8 dollars for both places, plus parking nearby garage validation, you can't go wrong! I have to hope that History Miami has something for everyone. A little historical perspective for history and geography nuts out there. And fascinating touring exhibits for people who wouldn't otherwise visit. All in all this is a "must see" for any history die hard and a "should see" for those visiting Miami with a few hours on their hands. There are parking garages nearby, which even with validation cost a pretty penny, and I after I visited I decided that I was close enough to walk to the key shopping area alongside Biscayne Blvd. Which I sure did. Totally worth the trip, glad I went. But keep in mind, it's still not for everyone. read more

I have visited a lot of museums in South Florida but somehow missed this one. I have wanted to come ever since I paid a visit to the Miami Circle and found out that the artifacts they found in the circle are housed here. The first weekend of the month is free for Bank of America account holders so I saved my visit for today. The museum is housed in a complex that also contains the Miami Library. If you are a Miami resident you can check out a pass to visit the museum for free from the library. Parking is available in the cultural arts garage across the street. If you have your parking ticket validated at the museum then parking is only $5 no matter how long you stay. The museum is composed of two buildings. The north side contains the historical items I was most interested in, especially the top floor. The first floor offers a display on the development of Miami Beach and is also home to a large research library. The second floor provides an entire history of South Florida from the time of the first people to present day. It starts with the Tequesta and there is a display specifically on the Miami Circle. From there the museum examines the British and Spanish influence on Florida. I especially liked the items relating to the the wreck of the Atocha. Further rooms offer displays on the Seminoles and the Seminole Wars. From there Henry Flagler brings the railroad to Florida and along with it the first tourists. We move into the Art Deco Age, the Great Depression, World War I and II, and the Cold War era. You literally move in a circle through the entire history of Florida with a concentration on Miami history. The south building has the items related to things currently happening in Miami. The second floor also has room for traveling exhibits. On my visit the exhibit was called Miami Rocks and was composed of videos and photos of the Miami Pop Festival held held in May 1968. Some of the artists features were Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa. The exhibit is ongoing until September 30th. They even gave us a poster related to the exhibit at the front desk. If you are interested in history at all this museum is a must see. I really took the time to read the signs. For instance I did not know that by the time the US government got done forcing the Seminoles out of Florida into Oklahoma there were only 40 of them left. They fled into the Everglades where the government was unable to reach them. A very sad chapter of Florida history. This museum is not flashy or interactive but there are great stories and photographs here documenting important historical events. I enjoyed my visit immensely. read more
