The $275 million, 250,000-square-foot project will be built designed by Grimshaw architects on Park West at Bicentennial Park in downtown Miami next to the Miami Art Museum. It will have a 600,000-gallon aquarium, a 3D planetarium, hands-on exhibits, classrooms and cafes.

The museum was approved by voters in 2004, and Miami-Dade will contribute about $175 million with the remaining funds coming from private donations. [EarthTechling]
