Gorgeous museum, will come again after COVID guidelines have lifted to enjoy the interactive exhibits. Very informative and placards are all translated into Spanish.

I’m pleased to say that we enjoyed our visit to the museum. I liked all of the diverse levels. I enjoyed being able to interact with things in the museum because those helped to keep me intrigued. There were several things that I liked about the museum, but my absolute favorite was the shark tank. I enjoyed the close encounters with the birds located in the pond. I would definitely go back another time I’m in town.

Had an amazing time at the museum! Was super fun and informative. One of the better museums in Miami for children and adults to have fun.

I have been to art walk a few times and frankly its pretty boring. This time was different. I saw a random sign in front of the santa fe lofts for a vaudeville show. Turned out to be a really cool vintage dance studio (lindyloft) and the show was wicked. The whole experience felt really underground. Hope more things like this pop up during art walk.

Waited until after I graduated to visit. Go figure. Incredible exhibits and a much larger space than I expected. Also, free.

The Frost Museum is on the FIU South campus. It hosts many class-act activities, art exhibits slot lighting many cultures, presentations, talks and a variety of exhibits of art styles all for free or a nominal fee. I enjoy donating to this museum and therefore supporting the arts in our community. The Frost is World-class, some events include a reception with the coolest servers and the tastiest and most unique foods. I only wish the museum where closer by being more north. I get a hotel room or Airbnb and spend the night whenever I go to avoid the extensive round trip journey from my pad in Aventura. It’s worth it though.

Very cool facility and is very very good for children!Unfortunately people in the movie theater that are locals have zero culture, what else could you expect from Miami?They were talking, flashing their phones and placing their legs and dirty shoes on the seats in front of them as if they were home.It was my experience in adults night stay at the museum... As far as I know during the day this is not the case because they have staff enforcing what should not be happening in the first place...

Sophisticated place with large collection of marine animals, as you would expect in Miami, other parts not so interesting. Show at the planetarium was pretty cool, there are a lot of options for shows.....and if you want a cool photo under the oculus, better off paying for it, their set up is better.

The museum itself is a terrific building, spacious and elegant. The Art after Stonewall exhibit is really excellent. Would be 5 stars if t werent for a less than 5 star organization of events (I reserved a ticket for event weeks in advance but then wasnt allowed in because they let people in on first come first served basis and it was full--So why issue tickets?).

Thank you for allowing us to come and experience Art. If youre looking for something to actually do, this would not be the place to go. However, if you love looking at art and you have some extra time you would definitely like it.

The art museum holds many creative pieces and sculptures. A great place to observe art from different periods of time

This museum is beautiful and absolutely stunning. The ticket price comes with one of 4 shows in a dome like theatre. We saw Journey to the Stars. It was beautiful. But the reason Im giving it 3 stars is because it left much to be desired. I found it to be a glorified indoor Miami Seaquarium. The aquatic displays was indeed beautiful and families with children can really appreciate it. Lots of tropical fish, baby sharks, stingrays and a small section with a very nice jellyfish tank and octopus. I was just expecting a little more. Miami Dade residents get a 15% discount on tickets that was generous. But overall a very beautiful facility for what it is.

A not so hidden gem in the FIU campus. Truly a delight, plus no driving downtown if you live in the suburbs. Become a member!!! Worth it

Breakfast in the Park with Art is my favorite event at Frost Art Museum on the rolling green campus of Florida International Un. A champagne orange juice and light snacks to stroll among the artworks in perfect weather is a great start to the Christmas season!

Review №24

It is not often that art teaches so much American history and politics. The latest exhibit does such a great job. Law and history students will learn so much of what up until now has been ignored and baby boomers will be reminded about how far America has come since Stonewall

Beautiful building that houses the collections/exhibitions. The staff that was on duty when I was there were very friendly and helpful when asked questions. There is parking available in two multi-story garages in front of the museum. You can either pay for parking using an APP or the machine inside.The day I went was the day before spring session was to begin so it was very quiet with very few people.The permanant collection was impressive considering its size. The other exhibitions rotate regularly and the ones currently on display are similar to they types at the Perez.I would definitely recommend taking an hour or so and visit here.

I dont usually give fours on these reviews but I feel like this particular museum venue has a little ways to go before it turns into an impactful center for learning in Miami. The parking price is high (around 12 bucks for 2 hours for me) but Ill give that a pass because its Miami - parking everywhere is expensive.The rooms and venues are technologically advanced, yes, with touch screens and swivels and what-not but their wasnt a lot of real SCIENCE being displayed. Trust me this would be good for a middle school field trip maybe but when I went the last 2 floors of the supposedly 6 floor museum was still under construction. That being said it tries its best to provide a tech/science outlet to downtown miami. Probably the best section of this place is either the lightroom or the aquatic section. P.S. I personally went here to take professional pictures so I pretty much covered the whole thing.

The museum is nice aesthetically, the design is modern and it has 3 stories. The main gallery is in the second floor and the paintings and art varies over time so you never get bored of passing by. It is free for students and has a variety of work from old master paintings to new modern art.

Growing encyclopedic collection, beautiful double height galleries, interesting shows that bring in well known international and local artists, as well as student work, all for the price of free. If you are driving, it is dollar an hour to park in visitor parking nearby. Definitely worth a visit.

To be Fair, I was very exited about the many great attractions that this place promoted offering. Once inside, I realized what a rip off of a place it is. 6 floors and only 3 attractions. The remaining 3 floors offer empty pictures printed from a random website. If you are looking to waste your time in Miami, this is the place to go. I DO NOT RECCOMEND IT

A museum filled with wonder.....wondering where all the money went to. No labels on many exibits, very little content & confusing setup.If youre in the mood to kill an hour and learn less than a middle school science fair this is your place.

Free to get in. $1.00 per hour to park. Exhibit did not flow. It dead ends on each floor. Too many editions and reproduction works i.e. No.123/500. I like for my museums to have original works. The front desk asked for I.D. when I walked in, Why? This is so annoying to me. Most likely they are trying to account for attendance but, it is still annoying. The place was of moderate size. Not a small or large place. I did enjoy seeing the F.I.U. campus. 3 stars.

Drove down from Palm Beach County to see this alleged powerhouse of a museum. Complete disappointment. The parking for the museum was full so we had to find a lot close by that services the Adrienne Arsht center. Not a crisis. What should have tipped me off that this experience was going to be a huge letdown was the entrance up to the museum. As a pedestrian entering from Biscayne you are walking up an unfinished driveway where the drop-off area is. I gathered that the pedestrian entrance is on the south side near Museum Park. Awkward at best. The museum itself was the strangest building Ive ever been in. I cant believe this was built from the ground up. It felt like a retrofitted parking garage turned museum. Nothing about navigating this place is easy. Stairwells lead to nowhere. Theres absolutely ZERO flow through. Ticket prices arent cheap and I can honestly say the best part of this museum had nothing to do with the exhibits but everything to do with the views, which were spectacular. Aside from that this place was a complete waste of an afternoon. Side note: Im not entirely certain why reviewers are complaining about the ticket queue. You do realize you can purchase tickets online right? Theres this thing called a smartphone. Its going to be huge....

I like it here. Its small, yes, but its also free, and I feel like what is there is very high quality. In response to the comment alleging racism, heres my experience: Yes, there is security everywhere and they were usually in every room I was in (Im white). I assumed they were doing their job, and its not a busy place at all, so they have nothing better to do but be extra vigilant. Its not like theyre standing over you theyre just in the same room. It didnt bother me.Snobbish? A bit. But its a freakin art museum, do they come any other way? All in all, as a person who is NOT an art aficionado, I love the place.

My review is based on costumer service. Its awful--so far. If you visit their Instagram page, youll see its a common problem. So much time, effort & money invested in this museum. The least they can do is properly train their staff to be educated & professional. Very disappointed in treatment.

Review №87

My rating is really connected to the fact that this place really lacks having a fair amount of exhibits. Obviously youre not going to get MoMA from this place, but I really do feel like this museum, should really look into revamping their entire process with how they do their exhibitions.I went to this museum, when they were featuring the exhibit of some fashion designer that implemented art into his designs. I will say that it was beautifully placed. But other than that, there was only one other exhibit filled with just photographs of an Asian artist, doing interesting art with hair as their medium.But with that said, we are talking about only TWO exhibits, and this was during the Spring time. So its not like it was in the summer, because I would imagine that since it is located in a College campus, that they put less effort during the summer time.Regards of that fact, I really do believe that a museum needs to work towards always elevating themselves. That is what always brings people back to MoMA.This museum is literally located at FIU. A University that prides itself in Being World Ahead. So do us a favor and achieve that, especially with more than just one or two exhibits. I have high expectations, because who are we if we cant challenge ourselves to always improving our work?!
