DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE: MUSEUMS
MIAMI SCIENCE MUSEUM Miami, Florida, USA
■ OPENING 2015
Construction work has started on Miami Science Museum’s (MSM) new US$275m (£175.6m, 219.7m) home in Florida. The 23,226sq m (250,000sq ft) Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science has been designed by international architec- tural firm Grimshaw Architects. A major 600,000 gallon (2.3 million litre) aquarium, a full-dome 3D planetari- um and hands-on exhibits are planned as part of the attraction, along with two extra wings of exhibition space.

When it opens in 2015, the science museum will be an anchor for the city’s new 29-acre (11.7-hectare) Museum Park project, which overlooks Biscayne Bay. It will be accompanied by the new Pérez Art Museum Miami (see below).
MSM said its new facility will act as a “demonstration of ecological and sustain- ability principles” and will generate energy from renewable sources.

PÉREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI (FORMERLY MIAMI ART MUSEUM)
Miami, Florida, USA ■ OPENING 2013
The proposed US$220m (£140.4m, 175.8m) Miami Art Museum (MAM)
under development in Florida has been re- named Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), owing to a US$35m (£22.3m, 27.9m) donation from Miami-Dade County busi- nessman Jorge Pérez.
The new facility designed by Herzog & de Meuron will replace the existing MAM and increase the space threefold to accom- modate an educational complex with facili- ties for art and art-making, a library, an auditorium, classrooms, and art and digital media workshops, a café and a shop.
www.attractionshandbook.com The new Miami Art Museum has been renamed owing to a substantial donation from Jorge Pérez
The museum will be able to exhibit its entire collection of 800 international 20th and 21st century works of art in all me- diums, with a special emphasis on art of the Americas, to the general public for the first time. Perez will also donate a portion of his Latin American art collection valued at more than US$15m (£9.6m, 12m) to the museum’s permanent collection. The three-storey museum building will sit on an elevated platform and below a canopy, which will create shaded plazas.
Vegetation will be built into the columns supporting the canopy, as part of a strat- egy to “bring the park into the museum”. Pérez Art Museum Miami is being con- structed on a 29-acre (12-hectare) green space overlooking Biscayne Bay, which is also being overhauled to feature public gardens and sculptures. PAAM will share the Museum Park with the Miami Science Museum (see above).
