In 2017, the museum relocated from Coconut Grove to Museum Park in downtown Miami, near to the Perez Art Museum Miami. In 1949, the Junior League of Miami established the Junior Museum of Miami. It was housed on the junction of Biscayne Boulevard and 26th Street. In 1990, it moved to its current location on the fourth floor of the James L. Watson Research Center at the University of Miami. The museum features interactive exhibits and programs for children aged 3-12 years old. It also offers workshops and classes that teach creativity, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills to students from kindergarten through high school. There are several different tours you can take of the museum. The self-guided tour allows visitors to explore the permanent collection at their own pace by reading captions and viewing artwork. The junior docent program recruits young people to be guides for older visitors. Participants must be 13 years old or older and have an interest in art history and science. They are trained on site for two weeks then assigned to a group of three visitors. The training includes topics such as how to use digital cameras, record players, and computers as tools for discovery. The museum has received numerous awards including being named one of "America's Best Workplaces" by Forbes magazine. In addition, UMiami has been ranked No. 1 in college towns by Forbes for supporting a thriving arts community.
