It’s hard to believe that the Pérez Art Museum Miami has now been open about three months, but it’s clear it didn’t take the crowds that long to discover it. The gleaming museum-palace on the bay is filled with people on a daily basis, including cloudless, sunny Miami winter Sundays. What a joy to see.

Hopefully, these crowds — which seem to be an interesting mix of locals and tourists, big people and tikes alike — are also seeing the actual art, as PAMM did a nice job with its inaugural exhibits, mixing in painting, photography, sculpture, video, commissioned pieces, from a diverse number of artists from across the globe (including some local artists, sorry to the guy who smashed an Ai Weiwei vase in a lame protest last week, bitter that somehow his work should have been there somewhere. Including local artists is an important mission that PAMM must pursue, especially since it has so quickly become a focal point in the art world here, but defacing other’s art is never a good way to express this point).

Back to the art that is currently up, one of which will be ending already this weekend, the “Amelia Pelaez: The Craft of Modernity” exhibit. Here’s your last chance to check out this survey of the Cuban Modernist painting pioneer, who died in 1968. Along with fellow countrymen Wifredo Lam and Carlos Enriquez (among many others), she was a trailblazer in 20th-century art from the island (and one of the few women). Pelaez’s work is mostly pre-Revolutionary Cuba, incorporating the important European movements of an earlier time, such as Abstraction, Surrealism and Cubism, and translating them into a language of her origins. But her works also often have an undeniable feminine feel, referencing domestic objects and colors and textures of the interior home.

It should be another perfect weekend to visit the museum if you haven’t already and check out this show before it closes; you get to take in art and then lounge around the outdoor veranda and plaza, a little part of culture, a little lazy day.

“Amelia Pelaez: The Craft of Modernity” runs through Feb. 23 at PAMM, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami (parking below and it is also directly next to a Metromover stop); www.pamm.org. Amelia Pelaez, “Marpacifico (Hibiscus),” 1936.
