"Learning how this dredged swamp became a global metropolis is fascinating. Take a few hours and enjoy the advent of AC by touring HistoryMiami, where recent exhibits have looked at everything from the terror of Hurricane Andrew to photo retrospectives of the seniors who made up Miami Beach in the 1970s and ‘80s.The Bass Museum— Though it’s considerably smaller than the epic Pérez Art Museum downtown, Miami Beach’s art museum in Collins Park packs more great art into a small space than almost any other in the country. This contemporary art space feels much larger than its two stories, featuring big open galleries full of installations and works from mid-career and established artists. It’s easy to tour in an hour or two, and since it’s only a couple of blocks from the beach, it’s a perfect place to cool off and get cultured after a long day in the sun." - MATADOR_NETWORK
