The Wolfsonian–FIU
A design museum in South Beach's Art Deco District, with collections of decorative arts, industrial design and propaganda from 1850 to 1950.
The Wolfsonian–FIU is run by Florida International University and is housed in a 1927 warehouse building whose facade is itself a Mediterranean Revival work. Its collection of tens of thousands of objects includes furniture, posters, industrial products, architectural elements and political propaganda, exploring how design reflects social change in modern times. It helps visitors understand the Art Deco architecture outside. Check the official website for ticket prices, as some times offer free admission. It is located on Washington Avenue, about a 5-minute walk from Ocean Drive.
