Museum of Miami

Museum of Miami. Love the Story.

For more than 86 years, we have built the largest living archive about Miami, for Miami. Our old name only told part of that story. We’ve always been Miami’s museum for history, culture, and community. Museum of Miami finally says that out loud.

¡Gran cambio en la escena cultural! El emblemático HistoryMiami ahora se llama oficialmente @MuseumofMiami. Pero no es solo el nombre; la meta es llevar la historia del Downtown directamente a tu vecindario.

HistoryMiami is now @MuseumofMiami miaminewtimes.com/arts-culture/h…

Love this oral history project from @HistoryMiami "Stories of Resistance from Black Miami: From Civil Rights to BLM" Today I learned about Barbara Jimeno, a Black Cuban immigrant who came to Miami in the 1960s and faced all kinds of discrimination. youtu.be/Y8qgXOomfD4

Several historical Founding-era documents are going on tour to only 8 US cities and MIAMI’s @HistoryMiami was selected. The exhibit will be open to the public for free from June 20 - July 5 🇺🇸 The documents will arrive to MIA via special Boeing 737 plane on June 15. They’ll then be transported in climate controlled vehicles under police escort to the museum in downtown. Documents: - Original Engraving of the Declaration of Independence, 1823 - Articles of Association, 1774 - George Washington’s, Alexander Hamilton’s, and Aaron Burr’s Oaths of Allegiance, 1778 - Treaty of Paris, 1783 - Secret Printing of the Constitution in Draft Form, 1787 - Tally of Votes Approving the Constitution, 1787
