The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, located in Miami, Florida, operates as a science-focused cultural institution within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector. Its origins trace to 1950 when the Junior Museum of Miami was established to advance science education for local children, a development that eventually led to a long-term facility at the Vizcaya complex and the addition of a Space Transit Planetarium that hosted international programming. The museum serves a broad audience, drawing over 250,000 annual visitors and operating one of the largest summer science camps in the nation for children ages 3 to 14. In April 2026 Frost Science debuted How to Die in Space: An Interactive Adventure Through the Cosmos, a live, interactive planetarium experience, reflecting ongoing program development; the institution has also pursued partnerships with other cultural and hospitality organizations to broaden its programming and outreach.
