Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)
A waterfront contemporary art museum by Herzog & de Meuron with hanging gardens over Biscayne Bay.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A beautiful building as much as a museum — the breezy stilted terrace with bay views is a destination on its own, and the Latin American and contemporary collections are strong.
Our read - 02
The catch: the permanent collection is modest for the ticket price, and it leans contemporary, so it's not for everyone.
