New home for Miami Science Museum
The Miami Science Museum has received planning permission for its new US$275m (£172m, 188m euro) home.
Museum Park Miami will be a 40-acre park designed for both “active and passive recreation”, with two museums – The Miami Museum of Science and the Miami Art Museum – as well as lawns, public gardens, fountains and pools.
The new museum has been designed by British firm Grimshaw Architects, with an aquarium designed by New York-based Thinc.
Grimshaw’s designs include a three-storey teardrop-shaped structure with the 100-ft wide aquarium at the top.
The 250,000sq ft museum will boast a planetarium, children’s exhibits, travelling science shows and a wildlife centre.
The new museum is expected to open in 2014.
