permanent display. Relocation In March 2011, Miami native Phillip Frost and his wife, Patricia, donated $35 million for the construction of a new science museum in downtown Miami. The museum was designed by the New York studio of global firm Grimshaw Architects; Miami's Rodriguez & Quiroga Architects Chartered played an executive role. Completed at a cost of $305 million, the new Philip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science opened on May 8, 2017, in downtown Miami's Museum Park. Sitting on , the new LEED Gold-certified complex consists of four interconnected buildings with parking underneath: The Frost Planetarium is a 250-seat full-dome screen with a diameter of and a 16-million-color, 8K projection system. The three-story, cone-shaped, Aquarium is open to the top level and also includes a diameter oculus lens at the bottom for viewing the fish, rays and sharks. The North and West Wings contain permanent and rotating exhibit galleries, Guest and Member Services, concessions and the gift shop, offices, and the Knight Learning Center with four classrooms. As of May 11, 2022 the future of the museum's old building remains uncertain; plans to demolish the museum and turn the property into an urban garden have been shelved. Exhibits Aquarium The museum features a multi-level aquarium featuring habitats commonly seen in South Florida and the surrounding areas. The top deck of the Aquarium features key South Florida ecosystems, including the 100-foot wide, 500,000-gallon Gulf Stream Aquarium, where creatures such as mahi-mahi, devil rays, hammerhead sharks and others can be found. The middle level features habitats such as: coral reefs, mangrove forests, and the Gulf Stream. Nearly 30 aquariums and interactive vessels are included to demonstrate the bio-diversity of sub tropical habitats. The bottom-most level exhibits the Gulf Stream Aquarium where drifters such as jellyfish ride the massive flow running along Florida's east coast and into the North Atlantic. The aquarium culminates on this floor with a 31-foot oculus lens forming the bottom of the Gulf Stream Aquarium. Planetarium The Frost Planetarium seats 250 people and features six 16-million-color 8K projectors, surround sound, and a 67-foot wide dome screen tilted forward at 23.5°. The planetarium also hosts laser show nights on select dates featuring laser graphics set to music from bands such as Pink Floyd and Queen.
