museumThe Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, the new $300M downtown Miami facility under construction, wants to hear from PR firms.

The planetarium, acquarium, science and education center wants an established agency with local, national and global contacts, crisis experience, and brand and celebrity wrangling savvy.

The museum traces its roots to the 1940s and was known as the Miami Science museum. Pharmaceutical billionaire Phillip Frost donated $35M to build a new downtown facility in 2011 and a campaign brought the total up to $103M as Miami-Dade County pitched in another $165M. It is scheduled to open next summer.

Copies of the RFQ can be obtained from Paol Villanueva at pvillanueva [at] frostscience [dot] org.

Deadline is Sept. 29.
