Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

About

Vizcaya is a European-inspired estate and National Historic Landmark with a Main House and formal gardens overlooking Miami's Biscayne Bay.

Story

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a National Historic Landmark that preserves the Miami estate of agricultural industrialist James Deering to engage our community and its visitors in learning through the arts, history and the environment. Built between 1914 and 1922, Vizcaya is one of the most intact remaining examples from this era in United States history, when the nation’s most successful entrepreneurs built estates inspired by the stately homes of Europe. Vizcaya features a Main House filled with a decorative art collection, 10 acres of formal gardens, a rockland hammock (native forest), mangrove shore, and a historic village that is being restored to tell Vizcaya’s full story and provide additional spaces for programs and community outreach, including those on agriculture. Vizcaya has been a community hub since it opened to the public in 1953; it currently welcomes about 275,000 visitors annually.

Mission

Vizcaya aims to engage the public in learning through the arts, history and the environment.

pretty but I think it was hit hard by hurricane irma. we didn't see too many orchids, and a lot of the gardens looked dilapidated or smelled like fresh manure due to replanting. we saw some awesome iguanas though!

Loved the place. It seems like a bad idea, all these bought pieces putting together, all these styles, but somehow it worked for me. Just the gardens seemed a bit roughed after hurricane. Would love to see fixed pool.

It's a nice place to visit. I never imagined that there would be a place like this in Miami I thought of it as only beaches in a tropical site. I really enjoyed this tour, there is a lot to see such as viceroyalty epoch furniture, ancient master pieces paintings, past times architecture, etc. And admire some unique flora.

Superb #1 must see attraction in Miami. Just an amazing sight to behold. The tour is a MUST. The guide is informative, interactive, and a great presenter.

Visited the place for a wedding. A marvelous place w the gardens and spectacular waterfront views. However It is difficult to move from one venue to another for older persons and if heels even for younger persons.
