HistoryMiami Museum

HistoryMiami Museum, a history museum in downtown Miami, presents a permanent collection display of objects, photographs and archival material that trace the city's past. It is a Smithsonian Affiliate.

The display draws on a collection of more than 37,000 three-dimensional artifacts, which range from prehistoric archaeological finds to 20th-century Afro-Cuban folk art. Together they show the cultural mix that has shaped the city over time.

Beyond its exhibitions, the museum offers city tours and educational activities. Its Archives and Research Center holds more than two million historical images, one of the most significant holdings of its kind in the state.

Telling Miami's stories for more than eight decades, the museum suits visitors interested in regional history, archaeology and folk art, as well as anyone who wants a broader view of how the city developed.
