Museum proposes exhibit space at Miami City Hall
The Museum of Miami has proposed adding educational and historic preservation space inside Miami’s historic City Hall at Dinner Key, while the building continues to host city commission meetings.
The 80-year-old waterfront building is the former Pan Am terminal on Biscayne Bay. According to the museum’s proposal, the project would be a public-private partnership that adds exhibit space alongside the existing commission chambers, with an annex funded through the museum’s philanthropic support. The annex would house Pan Am artifacts and materials tied to Miami’s history.
The city recently voted to keep using the building for government meetings even as administrative offices are set to move to a new government center at Freedom Park. A city spokesperson said city leaders have not reviewed plans from the Museum of Miami or other groups, and Miami has not issued requests for proposals for new uses at City Hall.
