An amazing little museum of Coral Gables right in the heart of the city. This is a great choice of a historic museum to visit if youre in Miami. It gives you an indepth look at how our city once looked before man started expanding westward and the populations began to rapidly increase. You will learn about the founder of Coral Gables, George Merrick who went nearly broke to create and build one of Americas most wealthiest cities in the nation. The whole museum should take anywhere between 2-3 hours. It isnt so big, but there is a lot to see in the amount of space they have. So take your time and I hope you get to get an idea of what Miami once started out as. FYI: The building the houses the Coral Gables Museum was a WPA project during the Great Depression that once served as the home of the police and fire departments from 1939 through 1975. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A surprisingly very unique museum. Came here for the Miami New Times Artopia event, which was pretty cool. The museum itself was definitely a surprise as it not only focused on the history of Coral Gables, but also had a very in-depth history of Miami as well, which was a nice surprise. They also have a VERY cool sea-level display that will blow your mind and visually show how much of an issue this will pose for our city if things dont change soon. Definitely take the time to make a stop here.

The only museum dedicated to the civic arts in S. Florida! Exhibits change a few times a year. Currently they are exhibiting Cuban art from Colonial to Contemporary. Along with Cuban architecture in Cuba and around the world. Monthly live Jazz, events are always free or reduced for members of the museum. As a member I feel that I am doing my part to help educate and enlighten residents and visitors alike.

This building was completely renovated recently and is very nice with a large courtyard. Events are frequently hosted here. It is located right in the heart of downtown Coral Gables. There is parking to be had on the side streets and in the municipal parking garage. There are numerous restaurants and bars in very close vicinity.

This is a very interesting museum, mostly about the history of Coral Gables, promoting historic and environmental preservation. It is housed in a fabulously restored police and fire station. The building is beautiful inside and out. The building is huge and can be rented for events.

This place is a very nice museum has a lot of Modern Art but if you are planning to go to the summer camp my son says it is very bad. It is cool that it is built out of an old firefighter station and if when youre done with it you can go to movie theater nearby.

A small museum with interesting local history. Nice, but not in any way remarkable.
