In addition to the acclaimed Miami Art Museum, the center houses the main branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library, which sometimes features art and cultural exhibits, and the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, which highlights the fascinating history of the area. Unfortunately, the plaza onto which the complex opens is home to many of downtown Miami’s homeless population, which makes it a bit off-putting, but not dangerous. However, a new MAM is under construction by Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron on a 29-acre Museum Park overlooking Biscayne Bay, which will include public gardens and sculpture installations.

Six unique installations per calendar year featuring blue chip and leading contemporary artists such as Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, David LaChapelle, and Andy Warhol are expected Carol Jazzar Contemporary Art www.cjazzart.com 158 NW 91 Street, Miami Sat-Sun 13:00-18:00 and by appointment Tucked away behind bougainvillea and avocado, a pleasant distance from the commotion of the Wynwood Art District, Carol Jazzar Contemporary Art lays waiting. An improbable location that initially seems more like a house-share holiday retreat than an art hub is in fact a thriving institution. For nestled among the foliage of Jazzar’s enchantingly secret garden is a space, which despite its modest appearance, is the focus of a practiced and passionate dedication to contemporary artists and their art. As a result, this unconventional yet charming location has played host to many of Miami’s rising stars whose flocking contributes to one of the most diverse and reputable programming schedules in town. Non-profit / project spaces / art complexes Locust Projects (see Wynwood Art District) The Yard@CasaLin (see Wynwood Art District) Twenty Twenty Projects (see Wynwood Art District) A Miami based contemporary art newsletter / blog ARTLURKER is an online Miami based contemporary art newsletter created by Thomas Hollingworth, a writer and graduate of London who now lives and works in South Florida. Positioned to expand upon contemporary art events with original and discerning text, the critical art blog written by Hollingworth, as well as a cast of guest contributors including artists, curators and critics, has garnered much attention for its sharp tongue, wry wit and decisive point of view. Splitting the difference between local, national and international content, ARTLURKER provides timely previews, comprehensive reviews, meticulous interviews, and exhaustive news on a functional and user-friendly site that provides both a valuable local resource and an avenue for wider cultural navigation. By and large the content is a healthy mix of entertaining and sober features, which aim equally to exonerate the often questionable trends of the contemporary art world whilst simultaneously poking fun at the modern art establishment. However, one would be mistaken to think ARTLURKER has an agenda. On the contrary, it doesn’t believe in anything at all. Its only purpose is to provide a shout-out, a universal moral traffic light, reflecting back upon the art world the power of its own unpredictable quintessence. www.artlurker.com

This was Miami’s first public building with an exhibition space for the fine arts, and it was designed to preserve the symmetry of the formal gardens of Collins Park, which had been donated to the City by Collins and laid out in the 1920’s. This building is now the centerpiece of the city’s historic district and was placed on the National Register in 1978.

The museum further engages the visitor by complementing its collection with thought-provoking discussions on the context and connection among its objects. The Wolfsonian collection contains artifacts primarily of North American and European origin, dating from 1885-1945. It comprises a variety of media: furniture, industrial-design objects, glass, ceramics, and metalwork, rare books, periodicals, ephemera, works on paper, paintings, textiles and medals.
