Beautiful museum with interesting exhibits. When I went they had the world’s fair exhibit which has some amazing art work and models of the optimistic vision for technology and future. It’s free for FL residents. Even the elevator and bathrooms were gorgeous. As an FIU alumni this made me proud.
I don’t exaggerate when I say this is one of Miami Beach’s best-kept secrets. The art collection is impressive, the exhibits are in-depth, and the space itself is beautiful. I’ve seen so much great work here, from classic to modern, sculptures to vintage films. It’s a wonderful place to wander and soak up history. Even the elevators alone are worth the visit.
Even though this was my first visit to The Wolfsonian, I was completely blown away and would return in a heartbeat. The highlight of my experience was attending the 'Into the Stacks: Precious Plastics' presentation. Silvia and Nathaniel were absolutely fantastic—Silvia's knowledge and passion for the history and preservation of early plastics made the collection truly come to life for me. It was such an engaging and thought-provoking program that I’m already looking forward to my next visit to see what else this museum has to offer! Well Done!
Considering the potential of the place and topic, the museum is disappointing. I went twice, the second time only 2 exhibits were opened. The entrance hall is great so you would expect the rest to be so, but it is only a few room with a few beautiful posters or objects on display. The potential is great though.
7 floors, currently 2 floors are for exhibits and the third is being installed. First floor is a really nice, large gift shop and coffee shop that also serves alcoholic drinks. While the exhibits are smaller than I thought, they had quality themes and items! I also love the whole architecture of the building, outside and in. Would love to come back to one of their special events.
