The Museum Of Science In Miami |
|
The ongoing effort to turn a large swath of downtown Miami’s bayfront into a
center of science, art and learning has taken another important step. Knight
Foundation announced a $10 million challenge grant to the Patricia and Phillip
Frost Museum of Science. To be paid, the funds must be matched by an additional
$20 million in funding. The pledge comes as the science museum, currently
located in Coconut Grove, is poised to break ground next month on its new home
in downtown’s Museum Park along Biscayne Bay. The Frost will rise alongside the
under-construction Jorge M. Perez Art Museum and sit a block from the Adrienne
Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, two institutions that each received $10
million in Knight support.
