About the Coral Gables Museum
The Museum’s mission is to celebrate, investigate and explore the civic arts of architecture and urban and environmental design, including fostering an appreciation for the history, vision, and cultural landscape of Coral Gables; promoting beauty and planning as well as historic and environmental preservation for a broad audience, including children, families, and community members, as well as local, regional, national and international visitors. The museum optimizes its mission by cultivating effective partnerships, and providing programming that includes exhibitions, collections, educational offerings, lectures, tours, publications and special events.
The Museum is a true public/private partnership between the City of Coral Gables and the Coral Gables Museum Corp., a private, not for profit 501.c.3 corporation operating an educational cultural institution within a City owned facility. The Museum raises its own operating budget to fund the exhibitions and educational programs it provides, through memberships, private and government grants, admissions, earned income and, most importantly, with contributions from community members who believe in our mission.
Mini-Golf 2015: International Edition at the Coral Gables Museum represents the Museum’s second round of mini-golf presented as a “playable” interactive exhibit. The 2013 edition was themed on Coral Gables Landmarks. The nine-hole course exhibited in the Museum in 2013 featured mini-golf holes designed by local architectural and design firms, engineers, contractors and students in those disciplines. Imagine...mini-golf in air conditioned comfort in a museum! The 2013 edition was so successful–we still have visitors asking to play–that we are presenting a second round during the summer of 2015.
Mini-Golf 2015 will be comprised of a minimum 9-hole course. Mini-Golf 2015: International Edition will open on Friday, June 5 which is a First Friday Gallery Night Live! at the Museum. Landmarks represented on this year's course include The Great Wall of China, Ayers Rock, Pyramids of Giza, El Gran Jaguar, downtown Granada Spain, the National Mall, Sister Cities Sculptures, Mediterranean rooftops and Coral Gables' Alhambra Water Tower.
