Located in the Miami-Dade Cultural Center downtown, the museum houses a collection of over 37,000 artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of the region from its earliest Native American inhabitants through the Seminole Wars, the railroad era, the Cuban exile community, and Miami's transformation into a global metropolis. The permanent exhibits explore topics including Tropical Dreams, which chronicles 12,000 years of South Florida history, and rotating exhibitions that cover everything from Art Deco architecture to the civil rights movement in Miami. HistoryMiami also offers popular guided city tours, including walking tours of Little Havana, Wynwood, and the Art Deco District, led by knowledgeable local historians.
