\"HistoryMiami<\/figure>\nAfter 86 years as a cornerstone of the county\u2019s historical and cultural landscape, HistoryMiami Museum is stepping into a bold new chapter as the Museum of Miami, a name that reflects a broader vision for how Miami\u2019s stories are told and experienced.<\/p>

Approved by its board of trustees on Mar. 18, the change marks a transformation from a traditional museum model into Miami\u2019s first \u201cmuseum without walls,\u201d bringing exhibitions and storytelling directly into Miami-Dade County neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more than a name change, it\u2019s a shift in how this community experiences Miami\u2019s Museum as a living, breathing archive,\u201d said Museum of Miami CEO Natalia Crujeiras.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuseum of Miami perfectly reflects our strategy to embrace and present new experiences that provide everyone an opportunity to see themselves reflected in Miami\u2019s past and active in its future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rebrand follows an extensive, countywide listening process that engaged residents across diverse communities including Homestead, Hialeah, Little Haiti, Little Havana, Liberty City, City of Miami, Miami Beach, and Kendall. Feedback revealed that the previous name no longer captured the institution\u2019s scope or how people experience it today. Over time, the museum has expanded beyond traditional history exhibitions to include folklife, art, photography, and community-centered experiences, evolving alongside a county defined by cultural richness and complexity.<\/p>\n

The new name reflects that evolution and signals an expanded and more accessible approach to storytelling. As part of this transformation, the Museum of Miami will launch a series of initiatives designed to bring the museum beyond its walls and into the everyday lives of residents. Upcoming programs include:<\/p>\n

An interactive mural \u2013 Launching in coordination with the country\u2019s 250th birthday, the museum is inviting residents to express their hopes for America\u2019s future. Whether at home, on the road or at the museum, Wishes for America can be shared through this digital platform to be displayed in the museum\u2019s foyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cCafecito Stories\u201d \u2013 A traveling Ventanita and storytelling experience begins this fall and is designed to capture voices from across Miami-Dade County.<\/p>\n

A reimagined CultureFest \u2013 CultureFest, a proprietary museum event always held at the museum\u2019s brick and mortal location, will now be moving off-site to county parks, with its first stop at Tropical Park in January 2027. It is just one example of how the museum is planning to reach new audiences.<\/p>\n

Together, these initiatives bring Miami\u2019s stories directly into neighborhoods to expand access to cultural experiences beyond just the walls of the Flagler Street location.<\/p>\n

The rebrand comes as Miami prepares to play a key role in the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

Beginning on June 20, the Museum of Miami will host the National Archives\u2019 \u201cFreedom Plane: Documents That Forged a Nation\u201d exhibition, bringing rare historic artifacts to the city, including George Washington\u2019s Oath of Allegiance, The Treaty of Paris, and a draft of the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n

The exhibition positions Miami as a major destination for this historic milestone, with support from Miami-Dade County, Miami International Airport, and Brightline all helping expand access for residents and visitors.<\/p>

\u201cWe built this new brand in step with the community,\u201d said Michele Reese Granger, senior director of marketing. \u201cAs Miami\u2019s oldest cultural institution, we understood the weight of a decision to change the name. We intentionally built this brand alongside the community because we believed it had to be co-authored and co-curated by the very people whose stories we are entrusted to preserve. What we heard overwhelmingly was that our community wants to see their neighborhoods, cultures, and lived experiences reflected in what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The community listening tour shaped a set of guiding convictions driven by Crujeiras and the board, that will inform future programming. Recognizing that Miami is unlike anywhere else, the Museum of Miami is committed to honoring every story as worthy of sharing, from the deeply local to the globally connected; from moments of triumph to those of hardship.<\/p>\n

By using mobile experiences, Miamians will be empowered to strengthen and shape their community\u2019s future through newly created spaces used for reflection and dialogue, essential elements to fostering healthy civic pride and participation.<\/p>\n

At its core, the museum continues its mission to safeguard, interpret, and celebrate Miami\u2019s diverse histories, but now with a renewed focus on accessibility, participation, and belonging.<\/p>\n

The transformation includes a new visual identity. Centered on a prismatic \u201cM\u201d representing many perspectives, cultures, and generations that define Miami, the logo is anchored by the tagline \u201cLove the Story.\u201d The brand invites residents not only to learn Miami\u2019s history, but to connect with it, contribute to it, and help shape what comes next. The new name and logo will be gradually updated at the main museum location and in the community over the course of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis evolution ensures the museum remains relevant to the community it serves,\u201d said Michael Gold, chair of the board. \u201cMuseum of Miami reflects both the depth of our history and the dynamism of our present.\u201d<\/p>\n
