13 Places to Learn Something New in Miami
Miami’s Arts and Culture Venues
Miami may have a reputation as a sprawling party zone with the emphasis firmly on neon-lit hedonism, but it’s also a bit of a cultural treasure trove. The city is painted with the brushstrokes of multiculturalism, making it a melting pot of influences, flavours, and vibrant art and cultures.
As Miami Beach’s cosmopolitan profile has increased in recent years, so have its cultural offerings. You can spend your time strolling through the intriguing and provocative collections of area museums, catch an opera in a historic theatre, or take in an orchestra performance while reclining on a park lawn with a drink in hand. From creative street artists to world-renowned dance and theatre companies, Miami offers an abundance of options that celebrate diverse cultures and perspectives. Check them out below.

Inside is just as colourful with its collection of ornate Italian furniture, but you’ll want to visit during an evening concert to experience the true magic of this museum. Sit back, as a singer’s voice echoes harmoniously around the softly-lit, flower-tangled courtyard. Leia mais
