The obvious associations when thinking of Miami are beaches, music, nightlife and South Beach’s Art Deco district. In recent years, however, there has been a surge in cultural life and Miami has become an art destination. Built by acclaimed architects Herzog & Meuron, the PAMM’s building and interior décor are captivating in themselves, with its hanging gardens and terraces with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. The exhibitions pay homage to 20th and 21st century modern art, and attract thousands of visitors interested in the collections of paintings, art installations, photographs, sculptures and other sorts of visual arts. Do enjoy some food and drink at the very good waterfront Verde restaurant, a pleasant and relaxing option between exhibitions.
