A highlight is the museum's focus on the architecture of George Merrick, whose vision shaped the city's iconic aesthetic.

The museum also actively collaborates with local artists and historians to create a space that is both a guardian of the past and a promoter of contemporary cultural discourse.

The outstanding staff offers assistance and knowledge of the varied and unique exhibits. They have exhibitions every so often with different art and cultural themes. A fundraiser recently was a big hit where photo bombs were accepted with grace."

"Worth visiting once. The parking is not free and it was not expensive either. 24 minutes per dollar"

"Wonderful small museum, stop by if you’re in the neighborhood! In addition to the nice room of contemporary sculpture, there is a room about the history of Coral Gables and information about several projects the museum leads in the community. You won’t need hours and hours to see everything here, but it is 100% worth a visit."

"Nice museum. Great location. The staff is outstanding. They have a few exhibit rooms, so if one is under construction the museum is a little light. We were in and out in 15 minutes, which is the only reason to drop a few stars. But if you are in the neighborhood it’s worth a visit. I think they have events there which would be a great venue."
