MIAMI, FL.- Miami Art Museum unveiled the design concepts for its new 120,000-square-foot home in downtown Miami which will open in 2011. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the new facility is as an organic response to the site and the distinctive needs of a rapidly emerging Museum. The new building will allow MAM to better serve diverse audiences and will also enhance the Museum's role as a bridge between continents and cultures.

In conjunction with the design unveiling, MAM has organized an exhibition, Work in Progress: Herzog & de Meuron's Miami Art Museum, which provides an opportunity to review the evolution of the design concepts. The exhibition opens December 1, 2007 and will remain on view through April 6, 2008.
