Museum of Graffiti

We stumbled upon the Museum of Graffiti in Wynwood by chance and decided to visit. Admission is US$16 for adults. The museum offers a great introduction to graffiti history, styles, and techniques. Each artist has their own dedicated space, which makes exploring the exhibits especially engaging. In a way, it’s the indoor experience of the Wynwood Walls, which are displayed outdoors. The museum is fairly small, taking about 30–60 minutes to see everything, but it’s well maintained and thoughtfully arranged. If you’re spending time in Wynwood, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

What a cool experience... I really enjoyed getting to learn so much history and feel connected to such a beautiful art. I would absolutely recommend this place for any private or corporate event, but definitely for anyone that enjoys a unique look into the world of graffiti.

My husband and I visited the Museum of Graffiti, and overall, we genuinely enjoyed our experience. At first, we felt the admission price was a bit high for the size of the museum and the exhibits, but we both have a deep appreciation for graffiti culture, so we were excited to explore. My husband grew up in Tribeca and used to tag back in his NYC days, so he instantly connected with the history and style showcased. I’ve also traveled and admired graffiti across Amsterdam, Holland, Philadelphia and Thailand, so we both value graffiti as a powerful form of art and expression. One of our favorite parts was the setup with the old-school New York City desks and composition notebooks. It brought back real nostalgia. We loved that visitors could write, tag, and express themselves—my husband and I both added our tags, and it took me right back to writing bubble letters in 4th and 5th grade. The telephone booth setup was another nice touch that captured classic New York graffiti culture. We also appreciated seeing works from artists across the globe. Graffiti carries messages of love, pain, community, frustration, hope—so many emotions—and the museum does highlight that evolution. Many of the early pioneers of graffiti came from neighborhoods where artists were often overlooked or not given formal space to shine, so it was meaningful to see their style represented. That being said, there was a part of the experience that felt like it could go deeper—especially in recognizing the roots of graffiti within Black and Latino communities. We were not sure if it was underrepresented or simply subtle, but we left wishing the museum connected more intentionally with the culture and the people who built this movement. It felt like something was missing in terms of honoring or contextualizing the lived experiences behind the art. It is only 10 minutes to view the entire showcase, but we did enjoy what we saw. The museum ends with a gift shop, which is great for those who love to take something home. And the turnstile reminded us of the NYC subways. We do wish the overall space was larger and offered more opportunities to connect with old-school artists via video etc. —hearing their voices or seeing their reactions to the evolution of graffiti would have added so much. Overall, we appreciated the experience and are glad we visited. With a bit more depth and expansion, this museum could be an even more powerful tribute to graffiti culture and the communities that birthed it.

You can absolutely tell that this museum is a labor of love. The building itself isn’t big but it’s packed with information and eye catching work. The curation is also very well done and there was more being added during our visit. I learned so much about artists I hadn’t heard of before and found a new appreciation for the art. Would love to come again ❤️

A must stop in Wynwood. The only place in town that celebrates the 50 year history of graffiti and showcases strictly graffiti artists. The best graffiti events this city has ever experienced. I can’t stress the importance of this museum enough. I wish I could give it 6 stars. Fun and educational for people of all ages.

I came here with a friend for an event featuring a new artist. It was after regular hours and free as long as you RSVP'd. The event was stellar. Obviously, we were able to see the new exhibit which was displayed throughout the museum. There was also free beer being given out for samples, as well as free Levi jackets with screen printing from the museum. Outside was also a vibe where they were showcasing a couple things. All in all, I really enjoyed this museum. Definitely a good addition to any trip down to Wynwood.

Today was a wonderful experience at the Museum of Graffiti in Miami. Thanks to Sam at the Museum for answering all the guys questions and us having the privilege to be her first Mystery Box clients. The guys were extremely happy. Must see place in Miami.

Went to the opening of the Moses and Taps Exhibition and it did not disappoint. Nicely put together exhibits here with information about graffiti artists and how it started. I was expecting a bigger place but location in the heart of Wynwood was great where one is surrounded by street art and close to the Wynwood Walls!

We had the chance to stop by the Museum of Grafitti this last weekend with the complimentary ticket we received staying at the nearby Arlo Hotel. They had updated the exhibits from my previous visit, focusing more on the subway art and some political pieces by groups like the UFO collective. There was an exhibit on the different graffiti fonts, as well as on a female writer named UTAH who had pieces here in the US and well as globally. Finally, they had an exhibit on an old office building here in Downtown Miami that was scheduled to be demolished & some famous artists gave it a proper send off with graffiti prior to Art Basel.

This place is very stylish and a fascinating look into the world of graffiti for the aficionado but is sadly on the smallish side and won't seem like a good value for the money unless you're a hardcore fan. You do get a better deal if you buy a twofer admission which also includes the Art of Hip Hop Museum which is a short walk around the corner. The spray painted b boy figures outside the front door let you know you're in the right place as does the Os Gemeos wall painting on the inside. The subway turnstiles are a brilliant touch and the bathroom is appropriately tagger user friendly with just about every square inch layered deep with graffiti. I'm guessing they buff the whole thing every once in a while just to create a new tabula rasa that quickly fills right back up. There are some great nods to history with the giant shelving unit with hundreds of cans of vintage spraypaint and the room dedicated to the pioneers like Cornbread and Taki 183 but the museum is pretty lacking in permanent exhibits tracing the history and evolution of graffiti. Most of the modest square footage in here is dedicated to rotating exhibits featuring great graffiti artists they choose to highlight. The Konqr exhibit was great featuring blackbook source material as was the exhibit dedicated to a pixicao artist, Eneri. Pixicao is a certain style specific to Brazil. Other stuff from Distort and especially OG Slick felt overly commercial, straying from graffiti's outlaw roots into too much marketing, just a giant subliminal arrow pointed at the museum's inevitable gift shop. Me, I passed by all the expensive toys of tchotchkes to buy one single fat paint marker - the real essence of graffiti. It's hard to believe this is the world's first and only graffiti museum and I should hope it's not the last. New York, Philly, São Paulo, Tokyo, why are you sleeping and how did you let Miami beat you out? I sincerely hope this isn't even the last iteration of Miami's Museum of Graffiti - they badly need a space with a significantly larger footprint, someplace with lots of permanent exhibits and not just flavors of the month, someplace with space for live painting, hip hop shows, breakdancing, an expansive canvas for the culture to flourish. If you love graffiti this is a fun and funky seed but it could be so much more.

I've been wanting to attend a graffiti class for many years and it finally came true today! Upon arrival, we signed a waiver and got to tour the inside before heading outside for the fun. I enjoyed the history behind the art and our instructor was very friendly & willing to help. We went out back to spray paint the wall and had a variety of colors to choose from. Overall, I'd recommend anyone come here for a date night or simply to let some artistic juices flow. I would definitely return here and think it's well worth your money!

We were in the Wynwood neighborhood so we decided to give the Museum of Graffiti a look. We loved it! Reading all about graffiti culture, getting to know the artists, and seeing the actual pieces of art. So vibrant, subversive, fun! We were done within an hour because we didn't opt to do the art of hip hop too which is at their sister property next door. Definitely worth a trip here and then stay to eat tacos at Benito Juarez or at A Family Restaurant for "Argentinian good things".

Such a cool museum in Wynwood. I bought a combo ticket for this museum along with the Museum of Hip Hop for $22. I think it was worth the price for sure. I spent about two hours between the two and the private gallery. There were some really cool stories to learn about. They also offer different classes. The three staff members were super cool and welcoming!

Absolutely love coming here such a a great chill spot. Always doing something and always getting to meet an artist. They are so friendly and inviting. Great price and great value. Parking you have to pay but it's not bad. And even when it's busy still not bad. Maybe a little walking but not bad

Amazing work, immersive & interesting! I left with a new appreciation for these artists , art style and learned the history behind graffiti. My husband and I enjoyed the museum especially the interactive bits. If you or someone you know loves taking pics this makes a great spot inside & out!

This was such a fun museum connected to the Art of Hip Hop Gallery. The admission fee was reasonable. Expect to spend about an hour, maybe less, depending on how many of the captions you read and how much time you spend enjoying the art. The layout of the room makes for an uncluttered and nicely paced journey through various themes and styles. The staff were friendly and upbeat. Highly recommended!

Informative and also entertaining. This place opened my eyes to the meaning and activism behind this art form. Highly recommend.

Went to the opening of the Moses and Taps Exhibition and it did not disappoint. Nicely put together exhibits with information about graffiti artists and how it started. Great location in the heart of Wynwood surrounded by street art!!

Museum of Graffiti was good yet preferred the Art of Hip Hop Museum. I am from NYC originally. I was in NYC in the 90s so experienced Hip Hop culture in the form of when Big Pun became the first Latino rapper to go platinum, seeing giant handball court walls become graffiti murals, break dancing, and of course 5 pointz in Queens with amazing graffiti. I have seen many original Keith Haring murals in NYC including the famous "Crack is Wack" mural in Harlem that I saw again last year and is still in amazing condition despite being done in the 1980s. Crack is wack and stay away from hard drugs is word to the wise. Interesting that they spoke about the first graffiti artist and the history from artwork to vandalism. I loved that they had an original piece of Keith Haring and mention of him yet felt that they should have mentioned Jean-Michel Basquiat for he started as a graffiti artist before becoming a famous painter linked with Andy Warhol. I have seen Jean Michel originals and he is incredible edgy and on another level whose work like Haring and Warhol leaves an important legacy. Jean-Michel's graffiti tag name was SAMO. I still think that folks who visit the Museum of Graffiti should go to the The Art of Hip Hop museum. Both are available to see for $22. Carolyn at the front desk is very knowledgable about graffiti which is one of the elements of Hip Hop. She is a talented graffiti artist herself with a unique style. She did mention that Jean-Michel didn't consider himself a graffiti artist and a street artist yet in my mind he did do graffiti and think he deserves to be mentioned here next to Keith Haring. My favorite thing of this museum was the special feature of the metaphysical surrealism by artist Mear One. While I didn't vibe with all of it I must say some of it I connected with and absolutely loved. The special feature section rotates so call to see what is on display. Check it out!

Interesting (if a bit self righteous/indulgent) display of art that plays with the boundary of vandalism while celebrating anarchy. Then there was the roped off piece with the DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE guidance, just before exiting through the gift shop. Next visit I am going to bring a can of spray paint, step across that line and express myself all over that wall.

I really would've never thought to visit this museum if it weren't for my niece that was visiting from out of town. I have to say I really liked it! It brought back many memories of when I lived in NY and graffiti was booming. It's a small museum but has lots to read. The history of graffiti is very interesting and they present it very nicely. There is special pricing at times (we had BOGO) on tickets and they also have a 2nd museum, Hip Hop, around the corner.

I had family in town for a long weekend and was looking to take them to some cool places that weren't just food and drinks. The Museum of Graffiti was the PERFECT place to appeal to the adult art and music lovers, and it was also ideal for the kids in the group because the bright colors and different rooms and exhibits were enough to capture their attention as well. The entry way to the museum is this super cool bodega looking storefront that leads into a gift store with lots of very cool pieces of art and novelty items. After we spent an hour here we went right around the corner of the block to The Art of HipHop museum which was also a very cool eclectic homage to all of the music I grew up on. It was both fun and funny to share that with my cousins who grew up on that music as well as now my nieces and nephews. I followed both museums on social media now and see they do a lot of different events which I will absolutely be checking out. Apparently they change the format and exhibits often.

Such a cool spot for graffiti and art lovers, small but the price isn't bad and honestly their gift shop alone was worth it! Shout out to Carolyn for being such an amazing host- i def recommend to check it out. Great for IG pics as well

So happy I decided to pop by. The Museum of Graffiti is such a unique spot. People think graffiti is for derelicts but its actually a huge movement. It is so cool to learn about the different styles and techniques of each vandal. Their different collections of artist from around the world is the most impressive. As well as their gift shop. Finding a unique gift for someone can be challenging but their gift shop really has something for everyone.

I am originally from New York and remember the early days, but the graffiti museum reminded me and taught me things that I didn't know and/or forgot it's a great place to go to learn

The gallery was amusing, but I felt that it was rather small for the price, even with a student discount. The staff were kinda rude.

This space is co-owned by people that have a true love and understanding of graffiti culture.. historically as well as the contemporary scene. One of the owners has been immersed in the scene or decades and has personal relationships with most of (not all of) the graffiti legends across the US. The museum features a self guided educational tour with art, installations, mix media pieces, sculptures, as well as photos and memorabilia. The museum also constantly hosts programming in the space.. giving guests opportunities to meet current writers, legendary writers, as well as artist talks, workshops, and more... you definitely want to get on their mailing list to see what they have going at the moment.

Small but a very informative museum. Love the history and a great way to inform people that graffiti is art. It is $16 to get in but I think they have a Groupon available. Check this place out if you are in the area.

If you are coming here to learn about the history of Wynwood; you are going to be disappointed. This is a nice display of graffiti around the world. Does it give the due flowers to the POCs who were the founders of the movement ( the ones subjected to the most punishment and the LEAST profit). There was a great display about the work of Keith Haring. The man who took "14 yr old Latin kid under his wing. The child help Keith establish street creed" . I ask the reader to read between those lines and see how it was bio was written. Definitely take the presentation with a hand full of salt. There is a display about Wynwood's history; it is light in my opinion. It is a good display and take a walk through to support the arts. I would definitely suggest taking the map any really explore all the beauty murals, restaurants, cafés, and shops throughout Wynwood.

Pretty cool experience! Prepare yourself to see lots of graffiti art and uniqueness for $17 per person. Be sure to take pictures and record as much as you want. There's also a small gift shop available. Enjoy!!!!

my boyfriend booked us a reservation here for taking a graffiti class and we had the BEST time. The instructor (who's also an artist) was SO KIND and talented!! in addition to learning how to perform the art of graffiti. We also got a really lengthy history lesson about it, and about the artists that leave their marks in Wynwood! totally recommend the class and the museum location is also SO COOL!

There is metered street parking and paid garage parking nearby. The museum is located ed in an area that has wonderful graffiti all over. The museum is kind of pricey for what you get in my opinion. The museum is very small and will take around 30 minutes to go through. The staff there is very friendly. They have exhibits showing the history of graffiti art, famous artist, graffiti font types, box cars, graffiti organizations and examples of graffiti. I really like the bathroom which was decorated with graffiti all over. There is also a little nook with graffiti painted where you can sit and it serves as the backdrop for some cool pics. This place is very unique and is the first graffiti museum that I have seen. Your self guided tour ends at the, you guessed it, gift shop. You have to walk through it to exit. They have stickers, hats, post cards, posters and figurines for purchase there. this museum is more of a 3.5 rating, but closer to a 3 and not quite a 4. It is cool, but not much to it though. If you are going to visit I recommend making it part of a larger itinerary including the Wynwood Walls and walking around checking out all the art of the buildings. I would also recommend trying to find some kind of discount like a Groupon, or other discount.

Now this was awesome! It was blocks on blocks of graffiti, food trucks, scooters and just good vibes. I love museums... we walked til it was dark looking at artwork and taking pictures. The actual museum sits inside the middle of the street work. I don't like that you have to pay for parking lord... On the street parking at that!!! Smells like pee when you get out the car! lol but I still enjoyed my short visit.

Of all the art galleries and museums we visited in the Wynwood area, this has been, by far, our favorite. Although not very big, the museum provides such interesting insight into the history of graffiti and its role in the Miami scene as well. We appreciated the friendly staff, the beautiful and bright artwork displayed and the audio tour, which is self guided and allows you plenty of time to learn about the various artists and styles. Although I was never a graffiti fan, I found this visit to be extremely enlightening, and gave me a new appreciation for the history behind this art. Total time spent was a little less than an hour, but we felt in that short period of time, we learned a lot. It's a very interesting museum and one well worth visiting if you plan on walking Wynwood. It will give you some new perspectives on the area and the surroundings.

This was such a fun thing to do on our mother/daughter trip to Miami ! I'm such an artsy person and seen that you can book a graffiti class before you actually tour the museum. We learned a lot about the history of graffiti and even some graffiti etiquette. Our teacher was awesome and encouraged our creative juices to flow. The gift shop had some cool items for purchase and everyone was super nice .I would definitely recommend visiting and taking the class before hand if you can (or they still offer it )

A great place to spend a few hours exploring the world of street art. The ingenuity and creativity of the various artists is something that makes you smile.

Small but most museums are small so. Overall very nice because very relatable. Walkable. Spots for food nearby

Cool place. The Wynwood area in general is an amazing place to check out. Just walk around and appreciate the art. Yes, the graffiti art. I am not aware of any other place like it in the States. There are definitely other places with graffiti. But not dedicated to it like this place. If you are looking for a museum dedicated to graffiti as well as tons of graffiti art up and down the streets, this place is it.

I really enjoyed the museum, there is a lot of visual history about the graffiti movement in the USA. Walls are full of pictures from older graffiti pieces in other cities, mainly SF and NY, and there are some rooms that have been dedicated to display graffiti, although the art in these rooms is nowhere near the pictorial collection of subway cars and wall art. There is also a nice sculpture and a lot of notebooks with pencil/pen art. The gift shop is also a cool place, they have books, t-shirts, supplies, and lots of decorations and gifts. There's metered parking outside and premium entrance fee.

Really cool ! Growing up in Philadelphia and New York as a 1st generation Cuban American it was really cool! Alan who works there was so helpful and knowledgeable. Took home some cool books that I will treasure ! If your in the area check it out .

Nice museum but the staff over charged me. Too expensive for the price. There was even a $5 donation for entry but the staff never mentioned it so I ended up paying 5 the price than everyone else.

Museum features a variety of graffiti art and provides written information about each piece. It's safe for kids and has a small gift shop. Not that large, but it's Instagram-worthy and perfect for a weekend visit

Museum Of Graffiti Was Definitely A Hidden Gem In Wynwood. We Learned So Much History About Where Graffiti Started & Why - This Is A Must Go! I have to add the staff were all very knowledgeable about the history and happy to share. They let us take our time and explore while answering questions along the way. We even bought some cool swag from their gift shop area. Don't miss out.

This museum is one of the first of its kind and I was excited to hear that as a Floridian, it was in my backyard. And my visit did not disappoint. I'm not one to review museums, even though I like to visit them, but since this one is so unique and it would probably appeal to more than your typical museum visitor, I felt that I should share. If you are a fan of art you will appreciate this establishment. First and foremost, I must mention that this place is provides written history/information along with all the pieces of art; which makes for an interesting experience especially if you're not that familiar with graffiti. There is a large variety of art from photos of graffiti to actual graffiti and other articles that feature graffiti on them. They also have it a small gift shop in the museum that has some really cool items. The establishment is not at all large, but big enough for you to get some proper perusing done. One of the things that I appreciate about this establishment is that not only is it Insta-worth (great for Instagram photos) it is safe for kids; great place for a field trip. If you're looking for a change of pace from your regular weekend activities, definitely give this place a shot.

Our school lined up a week of field trips for our students to immerse themselves in art and culture. One of my favorite field trip spots that we went to was the Museum of Graffiti in the Wynwood art district. When we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly hosts that took our groups throughout the museum. Everyone was very friendly and informative of all the beautiful artwork of graffiti that was around. Our group was split into to two. One group did the tour of the museum first, and the second group did the graffiti design class. The instructor for the graffiti design class was very interactive with the students, and taught us how to create pieces of graffiti artwork. I was surprised that I did well for myself lol. When it was time for us to do the tour, the tour guide was very engaging and informative of every artwork that was throughout the museum. He gave a plethora of background information to where we can understand the pieces much better. Being able to see how something that was once considered illegal street artwork, is now being appreciated throughout the world is phenomenal.

I've waited for a while and today decided to see the Museum of Graffiti. I was very skeptical, but so pleased and engaged. The staff is very welcoming and shared information. The exhibits are well laid out, clear, and thoughtful. You cannot leave without gaining an appreciation for the graffiti and murals covering so many walls in Wynwood. If you're going to Wynwood, I'd put this attraction on your must-visit list. The gift shop has interesting stuff, too. They have moved recently, so make sure the address is correct - it's just around the corner. The ticket might be pricey, but it's worth it. If you live in Miami and have a library card, you can get a pass!

This is a pretty cool attraction to check out in Wynwood. Everyone has seen graffiti but I'm certain most people don't know the origin or backstory. It was very interesting to read about the artists and their experiences. It's great that you can choose time slots which helps regulate overcrowding during the pandemic. The staff wears masks and you're required to wear masks inside the museum. It's super colorful and inviting. They have a feature to use QR codes for an audio tour and I love that! You're in control of what you want to learn more about and you don't have to put on headphones that everyone has used. Outside are beautiful murals, especially the "American History" mural that journeys through the experiences of Black Americans. It's honestly so breathtaking! Be prepared to take plenty of pictures!

I had a really good time. I enjoyed the different art work by various artist. The price of admission wasnt bad i think it was 12 although if i would have had my student id it would have been 5. So if you have a student id take it with you . The gift shop is a bit over priced but aren't all gift shops? over all i enjoyed the experience. I'll post some of my favorite pix!

Not going to lie, I came inside here because I didn't know where the entrance to the Wynwood walls was & I had to pee. However, I was happy I came inside. I have always love graffiti art and it's nice to see it being celebrated instead of being treated as something bad. It provides some great information on the history. I do recommend it for anyone who likes graffiti.

Very fascinating small museum that goes through the history and evolution of graffiti art. Also the temporary exhibition of a local artist was superb. Recommend!

My reviews are surrounded by more food, than the activities I choose to do. Museums are apart of my heart and I love them! Therefore, while visiting Miami I dragged my Husband with me. We were both intrigued by the history and art of graffiti. My husband, a new york city native was beyond fascinated with the origins of graffiti, how it began in NYC. The individuals who work at the museum were by far the friendliest people you'll ever meet. If you had any questions, they'd be more than glad to answer your questions. You could see the passion about their answers or the information they provided. We had fun learning and viewing! Overall, what an awesome experience. I would highly recommend this place to those that are visiting the Miami area.

On 1/19/20 i visited for the first time since seeing their instagram page and was intrigued to find out what its all about. I walked in to smiling faces and employees that were avid on showing the true history of the rise of graffiti in the United States. They walked us step by step in every room and explained in detail the types of art forms and where they came from. I was especially happy with the courtesy of the staff and felt really welcome there. Great place for a picture or group picture and the gift shop has merchandise that i loved and took home myself. $16 was the entrance (per person) and i felt it was a steal of a price considering the experience.

This was such a great experience. So much rich history and articles and photos of hiphop history. I definitely recommend it.

What a blessing to be able to be in Miami and find this museum!!! Do not go down to this art district if you are close minded and can't appreciate the talent of graffiti!!!! I am a huge fan of this art and do some myself but nothing like this. Everything was displayed and honored in a respectful way!

This place surprised me! I learned a lot that I didn't know about the history of graffiti and the different styles. It really taught me something and gave me a new appreciation for street art. You'll find some pretty cool pieces in here. My favorite is the floor-to-ceiling piece by Defer. It looks like calligraphy with both Middle Eastern and Old English/Celtic influences. So gorgeous. The audio tour is pretty good and it's included in the admission fee. You just scan the QR code and listen to it with your own headphones. I know you can reserve tickets online, but I'm not sure it's necessary. We went there on a Thursday around noon and were able to go right in. There weren't that many other visitors, but then again it might be busier on weekend and weekday evenings.

Amazing art pieces !! Blocks, everything awesome, and outstanding service!! Highly recommend keep up amazing work!!
