The most modern and colorful region of Miami is Wynwood. Until the middle of the 20th century, it was an unremarkable territory occupied by small industrial enterprises and auto repair shops. In 2005, the city authorities decided to transform this area and it was completely reconstructed. The surviving buildings of old workshops and warehouses are now decorated with bright graffiti drawings. Now the picturesque area enjoys immense popularity among creative people from all over the world.
In the center of Miami, is one of the main architectural monuments of the city - the Freedom Tower. This beautiful high-rise building was constructed in 1925. Originally, it housed the publishing house of The Miami News. In 1957, the building was placed at the disposal of the city authorities. For many years, there was a center, which dealt with the design of Cuban immigrants. Now the building has an interesting museum dedicated to the history and culture of Cuba, as well as an old library with a valuable collection of books.
For all fans of art, it is worth visiting the Perez Art Museum. It opened in 1984 and was originally used as a gallery for temporary exhibitions. Over time, well-known contemporary artists from various countries began to send their works to the museum. So, it formed a permanent exposition. Now visitors of the museum can see interesting works of painters of the 20th - 21st centuries. Annually, about 300 000 people visit this gallery.
