Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University, one of South Florida's major academic art museums, opened its doors in 2008. This Smithsonian Affiliate museum has a broad permanent collection of about 6,000 artifacts, with a focus on 20th and 21st century American and Latin American art. In addition, the museum is displaying an increasing number of Asian and African artefacts. In addition, for those looking to further their knowledge, the Frost Art Museum provides instructive gallery tours, seminars, and hands-on workshops.

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum's mission is to provide transformative experiences through art; collect, exhibit, and interpret art across cultures; and advance FIU’s stature as a top-tier research university. One of the largest academic art museums in South Florida, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum provides the community with free access to world-class art that spans cultures and time periods. The museum started as a small space in FIU’s Primera Casa building in 1978. As the collection and programming grew, the university recognized the need for a dedicated museum space. The museum now resides in a beautiful 46,000 square foot building designed by Yann Weymouth and situated in the heart of FIU’s Avenue of the Arts.
