About North Miami Museum of Contemporary Art

It opened in 1996 in a building designed by Charles Gwathmey and presents rotating exhibitions, public art, and educational programs for children, teens, and adults. Its Joan Lehman Building sits on NE 125th Street, with free parking lots nearby. The galleries were announced as temporarily closed from October 5 while a new exhibition is installed.
