Showcasing the best contemporary art of the 20th and 21st centuries while also reflecting the multitude of nationalities that call Miami home – that’s the aim of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). The Pérez Art Museum is an absolute staple in modern art in the US alone, providing a deeply visceral experience through sight, sound and touch. Since 2016, it’s estimated that over 2,000 works live in the PAMM’s permanent collection. The institution strives to foster the healthy exchange of ideas among the city’s citizens through the medium of art, “promoting inclusivity across our communities, backgrounds, and experiences.” Also privy to the millennial-minded Instagram generation, permanent collections include interactive, fun house-like displays that play with color and texture both inside and outside of the property.
