Miami Art Museum

The successor to the Center for the Fine Arts, the Miami Art Museum (MAM) was founded in 1996 as a contemporary art museum with a permanent collection. MAM is dedicated to engaging a broad public with art from the twentieth century through the present. The collection, which Art in America magazine called "the quintessential Miami collection" in 1999, looks at international art from the perspective of the Americas and reflects the cosmopolitan makeup of Miami, forging connections among diverse groups and ideas. Among the artists represented in the collection are Carlos Alfonzo, Jose Bedia, Fernando Botero, Chuck Close, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Teresita Fernandez, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ann Hamilton, Guillermo Kuitca, Morris Louis, Ana Mendieta, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Ruben Torres-Llorca, George Segal, Lorna Simpson, and Frank Stella, among many others. Like its collection, MAM's ambitious exhibition program, comprising of both original presentations and traveling exhibitions from other museums, reflects the Museum's broad vision. Exhibitions have ranged from major solo presentations of work by such artists as Ana Mendieta and Vik Muniz, to group shows such as Miami in Transition, a presentation of responses by Miami-based artists to urban development in the city. The Museum's education program, with offerings for teachers and students from kindergarten through twelfth grade, is the largest art-museum education program in Miami-Dade County.
