Museum of Miami

For more than 86 years, this Smithsonian affiliate has preserved the stories of the people, places, and moments that shaped Greater Miami — building the largest living archive about Miami, for Miami.

Safeguarding more than 40,000 artifacts and over 2 million images that track the rise and diversity of one of the world’s most vibrant cities, we are where Miami comes to learn about itself and move forward with inspiration and purpose.

As Greater Miami’s civic museum for history, culture, and community, we fuel conversation with context by bringing together heritage and contemporary voices with a shared vision: discovering Miami, our identity as Miamians, and our power to shape the future as the city’s story moves in real time.

Families build legacy here. Students learn about the ground they stand on. Newcomers discover the 305. Locals see their communities in the spotlight.

From exhibitions to city tours, and activations across Greater Miami, the Museum connects memory to momentum with curiosity, pride, and love.
