Miami Art, Architecture, Historical and
Other Beautiful Places to visit!

Art is defined as the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. Thank you Dictionary.com! Well that said, I would describe Miami and the Miami Beach area as a work of art! Some people do not apply this definition to architecture, but I do.

Miami and Miami Beach with South Beach's Art Deco area are beautiful places to visit and very easy on the eyes. Not to mention the historical beauty that lies in the Miami area. The tropical weather allows for beautiful floral and other tropical plants such as palms of all varieties as well as beautiful ferns. No wonder Miami is a Art hotspot with all types of art going on. Even South Beach's nickname SoBe sounds artistic for art comes from within.

How about a list of all (that I can find) the Art Galleries and Museums with all types of art, history, and gardens categorized and the location of to help you plan /your vacation or visit.

Behind the massive arm is the Garden of Meditation, dedicated to life, and a history of the Holocaust etched in granite. Surrounding the arm is a tunnel highlighted by an eternal flame. The tunnel has the names of the concentration camps sculpted inside of it and leads you to more sculptures surrounding the arm as well as names of victims of the Holocaust etched in granite and items such as Jewish candles placed by visitors honoring the memory of the dead.
