One of the Business' Favorite Reviews What's This?
I find it quite sad that I was a UM student for 2 whole years and I never once made it to the LAM, because it's beautiful!
Went there tonight for the Mexican Exhibit Event. Thank you Gita, for extending the invitation to us Yelpers! I'm sad I didn't get to meet you or say hello, but I'm sure there will be plenty of yelp opportunities to do so sometime soon!
The Mexican Art Exhibit was awesome.. I didn't do the guided tour but I walked around and had a look at all it had to offer. They have some pretty great stuff!
Then my boyfriend and I ventured out into the courtyard where we were told the food and drink were. What a beautiful little courtyard, and what a beautiful night to be out IN the courtyard! They had Mexican appetizers and yummy tequila drinks to sample, and a mariachi band. My boyfriend even asked them to dedicate a song to me...how sweet, hehehe!
Anyway, I can't believe it took me this long to actually venture into the LAM. I will be back sooner rather than later! I wonder what the next exhibit will bring!
It's all over the place, but I will mention it again because I think it is THAT cool: This museum has been open since 1952 and it is considered the oldest art museum in Miami Dade county. How cool is that ?
The museum is host to over 13,000 pieces of art ranging from Greco-Roman antiquities to more contemporary art.
We are fortunate to have such an incredibly culturally rich environment in Miami - their exhibits are interesting and relevant.
It is probably a good idea to become and member and be able to attend events without having to pay the cover charge every time.
Also, important to note the Lowedown at the Lowe the first Thursday of every month- where else can you enjoy happy hour and get a cultural experience at the same time ? @ The Lowe !
It had a been a WHILE since my last venture at this museum. This place has changed! DRASTICALLY!! The sheer size, the many corridors; it boggles the mind!
Ok, so there are collections they have always had and I remembered them, but they also have a TON of new stuff (by new I mean, in the last three years, or things I hadn't seen prior to my three year absence).
They have the photograph exhibition called Through the Lens that is quite fascinating. You can see how the photograph came to be and cameras that have been used throughout the years. Really cool exhibit.
They also have art collections from almost all continents. It's very extensive. I particularly enjoyed those from Africa and the Pacific Islands.
You could spend hours roaming the never ending corridors and taking it all in. There's just so much to see!! I am really glad I went back and re-discovered the Lowe Art Museum. It's truly one of the best museums in Miami!!
What a great time I had last night at the Egyptian Art Event they were hosting! This amazing little gallery is located right inside of the University of Miami's campus and is really easy to get to. The gallery is open to the public and has some of the most interesting art ever.
I didn't get to explore the museum itself too much, as they had many areas blocked off due to the event. But I will tell you that I will definitely be back to check it out on a calmer level! :)
This less discovered gem of an art museum has a small,but superb collection of Early Italian Paintings(Lippo Vanni,Sano Di Pietro,Bernardino Fungai,Bacchiacca-just to name a few painters with fine paintings).It has fine paintings by more famous painters like;Jordaens,El Greco,Ribera,Goya,Monet,Sisley,and Gauguin.It has a fine collection of Twentieth Century American Art including delightful works by;Frank Stella,Paul Sierra,Duane Hansen just to cite a few artists well-represented.It has a large,,wonderful collection of glassworks by artists such as;Arneson,Christine Federighi.Personal favorites were;Lorenzo Di Bicci's"Annunciation",Bacchiacca's"Ghismonda With Heart of Guiscardo",Jordaens'"Judgement of Paris",Ribera's "Saint Peter",Jean Debosses'"Soleil Couchant",Monet's"Waterloo Bridge",and Paul Sierra's"3 Graces".So enjoy this fine art on the University of Miami's bustling campus.
wow, yet another place i'm astounded to find has zero reviews for?!
this is a great little museum located right inside the University of Miami. but, it's not just for UM students. it's permanent collection is one of the most important in the southeast. it also hosts traveling and temporary exhibitions all year long... including student art work. and the museum covers everything from greco-roman antiquities, to photography, to art of the pacific islands, etc.
also, they have a great education program with speakers, events, tours, classes, and world renowned art historians that come to lecture. hell, you can even rent the space to host receptions & events!
