Exploring The Soon To Open Museum Park Miami
Museum Park Miami
As part of the construction of Perez Art Museum of Miami and the Patricia and Phillip Museum of Science, Museum Park got a complete revamp from when it was Bicentennial Park.
The near completed park sits next to Biscayne Bay and is located next to the American Airlines Arena separated by a boat slip, which David Beckham wants to use for his MLS soccer stadium.
The landscaping and construction on Museum Park has progressed quickly, even from three weeks ago when the park looked like this.
The park is surrounded by many palm trees and even has trees that were moved from Brickell City Centre.
There are many park benches and bike racks for people to be able to enjoy. When sitting on one the benches, the park offers spectacular views of Watson Island, South Beach, Port of Miami, Downtown Miami and the "Biscayne Wall." In the morning or at night Museum Park is a great spot to watch the cruise ships come in and out of the port.
Sculptures that were part of Bicentennial Park have been included in the new Museum Park including the El Nuevo Mundo sculpture, which has been moved to the front entrance of the park.
With the addition of the Perez Art Museum of Miami and Frost Museum of Science, Museum Park should be a welcome addition to residents and tourists of Miami.
The official opening is expected to be June 14.
