The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum is a hidden treasure inside the Florida International University (FIU) , located in Miami at 10975 SW 17th Street, across from the Blue garage and adjacent to the Wertheim Performing Arts Center on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus. The Frost Art Museum opened its current 46,000 square foot, state-of-the-art building in 2008 and over 40,000 people have visited the museum, which is an AAM accredited museum and Smithsonian affiliate.
While checking out what Miami has to offer this summer, check out this wonderfully welcoming museum. The current exhibitions are ‘Tap Tap: Celebrating The Art of Haiti’, running now through September 5, 2010; this exhibition is part of a larger project to contribute works lost in the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti and help with the rebuilding of the cultural and artistic heritage by featuring the works of artists of the lost patrimony from The Frost Art Museum’s large collection of Haitian art.
Another exciting exhibit is ‘Spiritual Healing – Shamans of the Northwest Coast running through October 3, 2010; this exhibit is designed to enlighten FIU students and Florida residence about the artistic accomplishments of the Northwest Coast Native tribes and specifically their cultural approach to healing.
If you’re staying at a Miami Spa Resort , you’ll find the Frost Art Museum conveniently located and what’s even better is the admission is free. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm, Sunday from noon to 5pm. The museum is closed on Mondays.
