Museum of Art and Design @ MDC in Country Walk

Amazing place

We went to go to to visit the Freedom Tower not know they had an art museum on the 2nd floor. Interesting history and art exhibit.

Expected more, but I loved it. Free on Sundays and free parking too. Not bad to stop by on a Sunday afternoon and you just want to disconnect from the busy streets.

The Museum was beautiful! I have go back and spend more time exploring.

The museum is a great experience. It is in the Freedom Tower, an emblematic Miami building wit 2 floor of viewing space for are etc.A winner

A quaint museum with some interesting pieces. It’s free on Sundays and worth a quick stroll to check it out if you’re around the area. I wouldn’t go out of the way for this Muesum though.

I gather that the exhibits change somewhat frequently, but at the time we visited, there was no exhibits at all devoted to design, which was disappointing. (The Cooper Hewitt Design Museum is one of my very favorite places, and I was hoping this might be similarly cool.)The museum had a bit of a schizophrenic feel in that the first floor was devoted exclusively to the Cuban emigrant experience and specifically Operation Pedro Pan, and then the second floor was art. It wasnt really clear how the two tied together. That said, the historical exhibit was interesting and well done.

What I love most about Museum of Art and Design @ MDC is its size. Some Museums can feel huge and overwhelming, but Museum of Art and Design @ MDC feels intimate and manageable. No need to rush around to see everything they have to offer. Being free is a nice perk.

Very cool exhibits with a look into the artists minds via descriptions

I always see interesting shows here. Worth a visit!

Great staff! The exhibition was amazing and the opening reception was very fun!

Great place to visit

went to the Museum of Art design better known as the MOAD -I think its operated by Dade College.  its in a historic building - the first floor of the museum is pretty boring mostly civil rights stuff - important but as they say "been there done that" way too many times - my eyes start to gloss over . 2nd floor is mostly like modern art - kind of unique &  it is free or actually they request a donation -not sure if its mandatory whatever that means (that has always confused me)  and he said hed let me in free if I agreed to have my picture taken which seemed strange & I dont care but nobody that I recall ever actually took my picture 😱

Great historic building and informative displays. I really wanted to go to the 2 floor exhibit as well however did not want to leave my bag at the counter. Looks cool though. Check out the mural of the map of the world. Very well done.

My family really enjoyed the exhibit The Body Electric and the scope and quality of it was mind-boggling. The venue at Museum of Art and Design is so big it makes and exhibit like this possible where it could never fit at Pamm

Really amazing place . Customer service top notch. Will be back .

I enjoyed this place. They are friendly and I found it very interesting.

Awesome!

Top notch programming, fantastic exhibitions.

Loved this place. So much to see and experience.

This museum has interesting interactive map from 1400 to end of 1500 where you can see its becoming more and more realistic over time

Not the best museum it should be titled Cuban art of Miami. There was very little to no design exhibits and only Cuban art. The art was nice but the venue needs up the ante and bring in some other artists and real design exhibits!

The museum is spectacular! I highly recommend their current exhibition "Where The Oceans Meet"!

Loved the Black Power Naps exhibit

very modern place, liked the stop motion show too!

The staff was very inviting. We felt very welcomed. The environment inspires creativity we had fun doing our activities with the kids. The exhibits was well displayed and tge staff was very knowledgeable about the artwork and its artist. I look forward to going back.

Small two floor museum but packed with modern artworks, in an artfully beautiful garden. Detailed descriptions of the artworks and synopsis of the artists’ lives are much appreciated. Not to be missed in Miami!

I thought this was free but they charged us $8.00 for no art or design. It was history related about the cuban culture. My friend and I even walked on the side of the building when we left just to make sure it really was the museum of art and design. Its really misleading. They kept saying come back later to the free event to see the second floor. They are literally scamming tourist who dont know the area. We were tourist from Atlanta so unfortunately we got, got. Just a heads up to others.

A very fine space for exhibitions. Check out the current exhibition of Lydia Cabrera Where the Oceans Meet

A museum showcasing a fantastic effort and resulting curation for its thought-provoking and well-researched exhibitions. Thank you Rina!

No design and very little art. Definitely not worth $12

Theres some really interesting bits of history and some fab artifacts but its limited and not art and design related in any way. There was an interesting instalation with political and social commentary that was very thought provoking, hard to explain to children but we tried.Interesting, but check whats their as art and design museum was not what we saw. My son is very interested in design which is why we went and why it only got 3 stars as there wasnt anything really relavent to design.The building itself is interesting and it has information about local historic immigration.

Awesome discussion about the betterment of Miami Dade county cities and surrounding neighborhoods.Would love to take my students on a field trip soon

Wish this was a larger museum. Free entrance once per month

A very cool historical place!

Pretty chill place.

Wow, just wow. I lived here for 25yrs and it was well worth going. Will do Again

The staff were all polite, one of the exhibits was closed so the tickets were discounted. The exhibits we saw were basically just Wikipedia descriptions glued on the walls. Was kind of disappointed until we saw the Kentridge exhibit. This was a breathtaking piece that flipped our attitude towards our visit. The mix of video, music, and stop motion was captivating.

This event was in the Freedon Tower. Well known to Cubans who immigrated to the US. Its the equivalent to Ellis Island for Europeans that inmigrated.

Great venue, but beware the over zealous security guard. After paying $ to visit the exhibits, stepped outside and sat down on ledge to hail an Uber...and five seconds later the guard rushes out to tell me not to sit down...despite no sign indicating this. Most unfriendly experience in Miami so far. Thank you.

Outstanding experience at this Miami Museum. I had a great time and saw some Exquisite pieces here

Its a good place but employees have a little problem towards colored human beings.

Beautiful art

Really interesting and unique, only complaint is on the day we came, it was under construction so only 1 floor was open.

Love the current exhibition, will visit again, all the best before my next visit...

A true pearl, looking forward to the opening after renovations

Beautiful building, but closed for extensive renovations...

It is a beautiful building because I love it and it has Cuban historian fact Im really interested in museum.

This museum of art and design also served as an entry port for Cubans and has a permanent exhibit of that time period. Interesting to understand that history period from the point of view of those people.

It is a beautiful building, a real Miami landmark. It is a must see. The first floor of the museum displays artefacts linked to the Cuban refugees that came to US in the 1960s. The second floor exposes local and famous artists, mainly linked on post-modern art. Definitely a great attraction.
