Art Deco Museum

★★★★★

"A very small museum located on Ocean Drive where you are taken on a captivating journey through Miami Beach’s rich architectural heritage and vibrant community culture. Great place to learn more about the major historic design styles that highlight the essence of Miami Beach’s past and present, infusing it with the city’s signature fun and glamour. Very informative. You don't need long, maybe forty-five minutes at the most. There is only one floor. Staff are friendly and helpful. I paid 7 USD for an adult general admission ticket (November 2025)."

"Visiting this museum greatly allowed me to appreciate the art and design of the Art Deco district, whose designer wanted the city to resemble a "pastel party cake", but also better understand How history (especially related to wars) has influenced architecture. However, if you can't afford it, there are signs near Lummus Park that also provide some information. A beautiful, short and quick museum, allowing you to take a break in the air conditioning to better enjoy the neighborhood."

"It is not often that I get the chance to leave my museum and explore the world and spaces around me. Now, I have to admit, this isn't my first time visiting the Art Deco Museum but this is the first time I've been able to spend extensive time experiencing the rich history and storytelling practices that this facility present through the lens of architecture and use of space. Thank you George and the ADM team for providing a pleasant experience. I most definitely have some ideas on how I would love to activate space here at the Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum.

"Quite disappointing considering the history of Art Deco in miami. The videos are interesting but very old and none is teaching about Art Deco. There are a few items, accessories, some pictures, but nothing more."

"A hidden gem! Free entrance for students & Miami residents. Very educational on the history of art deco & how a few individuals saved Miami’s iconic architecture. The gift shop is lovely and sells jewelry & vintage items"
