About HistoryMiami Museum

HistoryMiami Museum is the Magic City's foremost cultural institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating Miami's rich, multicultural past.

Best Times

HistoryMiami Museum is open Thursday through Sunday, making weekday afternoons (Thursday and Friday) the quietest times to visit. The museum is an ideal rainy-day or hot-summer-day destination thanks to its air-conditioned galleries. Free Family Fun Days on the second Saturday each month tend to draw larger crowds, so arrive early to beat the rush. Miami's peak tourist season (November through April) brings more visitors, but the indoor setting keeps the experience comfortable year-round.
