Latin American Art Museum

Following in the footsteps of the Florida Museum of Hispanic & Latin American Art in Miami, which was the first and only museum of its kind in the world when it opened to the public in September of 1991, the Latin American Art Museum in Coconut Grove has sought to bring the fascinating world of Latin American art to Floridians. It joins the annual Merrill Lynch Arteamẻricas art fair as one of the premier locations in the Greater Miami area to view art from Latin America.

Housed at the museum is a permanent collection of works of contemporary art that includes paintings, sculptures, and ceramics of the same genre. In addition to displays from the collection, rotating exhibitions are scheduled throughout the year by artists of Latin origin. Past events have included "Artists of New Millennium" and "Women in the Arts," for example, all with a distinctive Latin twist. Works by Columbian artist Ana Milena Tamara have been featured here on several occasions, as have those of local artists.

The Latin American Art Museum draws an audience ranging from young professionals to knowledgeable collectors. It is located at 4006 Aurora Street Coconut Grove Miami, FL 33146. Operating hours are from 11am to 5pm on Tuesday through Friday and 11am till 4pm on Saturdays; closed on Sundays and national holidays.
