The city's essential history museum, covering everything from the Tequesta and Seminole peoples to Cuban exile waves and hurricane lore, and it runs excellent guided city tours and boat trips. It's the best single place to actually understand how Miami became Miami. The caveat: the main permanent exhibit has felt dated to some visitors, so the museum's real magic is in its walking tours and rotating shows more than the fixed galleries.
