Review:

HistoryMiami is Florida's largest history museum, originally founded in 1940 as the Historical Museum of South Florida. The downtown Miami museum is South Florida's second-oldest cultural institution and is a Smithsonian-affiliated facility, showcasing four permanent exhibit galleries and space for up to three rotating exhibits at any given time. More than one million historic images related to the history of Miami are on display at the museum, along with 30,000 artifacts chronicling the city's civic, economic, and social development.

Major artifacts on display include a 1920s-era city trolley car and artifacts preserved from 17th and 18th-century shipwrecks in the Miami Beach area. The museum is open to the public for free on the second Saturday of every month as part of the Family Fun Days initiative, encouraging visitors of all ages to learn about the city's vibrant past, present, and future.
