A new name is a signal of transformation, which is the case with the new Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, formerly known as the Miami Science Museum.
But while the new museum is under construction in downtown Miami, the current facility – also operating under the new name – is still offering the great programs, events and personalities that the community loves.
Heading into 2014, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science will offer the following interactive, culturally relevant and inclusive programming for audiences, while we excitedly await the opening of the new state-of-the-art museum, scheduled for 2015:
February 7: Fabulous First Friday
An evening of laser lights, stars and more will set the Planetarium aglow during the free Planetarium Star Show (7 p.m.) and rooftop observatory viewing (8:30–10 p.m., weather permitting).
