Museums/Cultural Events

Miami is starting to develop a strong art presence with several museums, galleries, and cultural event nights.  Many of the museums and other art/cultural organizations offer free events.  Using Culture Shock, students 13-22 can by tickets to many cultural events for $5.  For those 62 and older, there is the Golden Ticket.  So there is no excuse…get out there and immerse yourself !
