The Miami Art Museum is currently in the planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park Miami, the City of Miami's official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM's expansion will provide Miami with a 21st century sculpture park and art museum. The new MAM will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as an educational resource for the community, and as a symbol of Miami's role as a capital of the Americas.
Museums for a New Millennium is a project of the Art Centre Basel, coordinated under the direction of Suzanne Greub.
Scientific curators and editors of the catalogue are Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani and Angeli Sachs, from the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich.
In Miami, the exhibition is supported by MAM's Annual Exhibition Fund and is coordinated by MAM's assistant director for programs/senior curator, Peter Boswell. Upper Level Gallery.
Many of the museums are featured in Victoria Newhouse's book ãTowards a New Museumä.
