HistoryMiami Museum is a thing of the past. It's Museum of Miami now.

Why it matters: The Museum of Miami, formerly known as HistoryMiami Museum, will be in the national spotlight this summer as one of eight museums selected to display historic documents related to America's 250th birthday.

Catch up quick: Founded in 1940 as the Historical Association of Southern Florida, the museum has moved beyond traditional historical exhibitions to highlight folklife, art, photography and community-centered experiences.

What's next: The museum plans to launch a series of community events, including an interactive digital mural related to America's founding, a traveling ventanita and storytelling experience called "Cafecito Stories," and a reimagined CultureFest at Tropical Park in January.

• Beginning on June 20, it will host the National Archives' "Freedom Plane: Documents That Forged a Nation" exhibition, including George Washington's Oath of Allegiance, The Treaty of Paris and a draft of the Bill of Rights.
