Very neat museum located in the design district. Best part is its free! Just book your tickets online. Staff was accommodating to my nephew and niece and offered strollers. Exhibits change s couple times throughout the year. I highly recommend visiting if you are into seeing new and different contemporary art.

I had a chance to enjoy this place back in April 2018. My siesta-friend and I were excited to try something so different for us. However, the day was hot and sadly, the a/c wasnt working so well once we entered. We still attempted to make a go of such a place.

A really fantastic find in Miami. The parking garage across the street is as much a work of art as anything inside the gallery, and has pretty cheap pricing for Miami. Inside the gallery they have a wonderful assortment of pieces and artists. I will say, however, be aware of some of the pieces they have on display, as some may be a bit too suggestive or intense for younger visitors. This is not a drawback, but parents should do their homework. While were at it, they have a wonderfully fun scavenger hunt for little kids, that really helped my child get into it and everyone ended up having a wonderful time. The staff is very attentive and very friendly, and went will above and beyond what they needed to for us to have a great time. In a few months it looks like the pieces will rotate and I cannot wait to go back again to see what is on display.

Wonderful facilities, constantly up to date with the latest art concepts. Attention at the front desk is great and the shop has very interesting items to learn more about the current artist on the exhibition and decorate your home. Best time to attend is Saturdays afternoon. Is not that crowded. To park your car you mosr used the parking building or the side walk if you are lucky.

Why isn’t the whole town at this great new museum? It’s free to get in, and the exhibits are very well put together with scholarly guides available for each. This sculpture in the gardens was so perfectly hypergrowth Miami that I just had to share. We will be back soon enough.

If you live downtown, your annoyed when art walk comes. Its less about art now and more about DBS drinking the night away. Only positive part About it is that it brings $$ to dtla .. Other then that, its a waste of time .!

I had a weird but very interesting and unique experience. Try the black room if darkness doesnt scare you. And one more thing: they have the largest elevator Ive ever seen. Dont forget to use the stairs. Some very interesting glass paintings are hanging on the walls. Overall impression: interesting.

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami is an awesome art experience. I really enjoyed and appreciated the variety and many different displays that they had available. The building is beautiful and I like the architecture and how everything is organized and later out. The art made me think and I like doing that.

Its a fine regional institution in which you can see exceptional art. The sculpture garden outside in back is very Instagram friendly. The scale of the museum makes it appropriate for a one-hour visit.

The employees there were literally breathing down your neck, babysitting you everywhere you went. They would stare at you the whole time while walking 2 inches behind every step you made. They made my whole experience very terrible and uncomfortable. I couldn’t focus on the art. They treat you like criminals... I don’t recommend this place!!!!!

Miami has demanded a place like this for a long time. A great location, great ambient, inspiring thoug improvable collection and a staff that make you feel at home. I hope it grows into a world class contemporary art gallery. It has the potential and the aura of a Tate, a Reina Sofia or a MoMA.

This was N extremely beautiful free museum and even the museum garage was decorated. The only thing that I didn’t not like was that people with strollers had to give their strollers away . So with a toddler I was unable to go through the whole museum because the stroller was the only thing keeping my child from touching things. It was exhausting and although they didn’t allow me to bring my baby bag into the museum they did give me a tote to place my necessities inside . The staff was extremely friendly and even told about a family night event they have.

I invite you to visit this amazing museum of Contemporary Art on the heart of the Design District with a beautiful garden with fun and great pieces of sculptures on it. I will be coming back for every new exposition, this is Free, no excuses not to go to enjoy a walk of art on a great place. Miami is changing and I appreciate places that stimulate culture and art.

Very nice institute, multiple levels of amazing art. If you are a lover of art then youll enjoy yourself and if your lucky youll see the cat that likes to hangout there. If a cat loves it then you should too.

Three stars because its good to have one more contemporary art venue in Miami with free admission. However out of 5 galleries there were no women artists represented. And some of the work was clearly misogynistic with no obvious explanation or context. I question the curatorial choices. Would not return.

Incredible museum of contemplating art. There are 3 floors, often with different exhibitions on each. Theres a lot of light and its great to walk around.The sculpture garden outside is really nice.Also, admission is free! Definitely check it out - and you can combine with a visit to De La Cruz collection nearby.

We enjoyed our visit to the ICA in the Design District in Miami. We saw so many unique and interesting installations. We also climbed up and down a multitude of steps.
