This museum focuses on themes from the early 1900s - 1970s in the US industrial era to modern art design of everyday household items to art.

Absolutely amazing. Appreciation for the things of everyday life in our past with artistic details no longer seen today.

This is an awesome museum. Such a cool place. I went on the Free Guided Tour they have on Fridays; they also have free admission on Fridays as well from 6-9 pm. The tours are run by different staff at the museum. So every Friday its someone different. Everyone is very nice and very knowledgeable. I love it!In addition, the tour only covered the 5th floor, but there are 7 floors of permanent and temporary exhibitions. I am definitely coming back again to explore the other floors. Below are 2 pictures of 2 items displayed on the 1st floor (lobby).

It is a pleasure to visit this beautiful art deco Museum in Miami Beach I really enjoyed visiting and seeing the beautiful artwork it was inspirational and something not to miss. Its not only displays artwork but also describes the history of the era and the cultural changes around the world.is a place to see objects but she would see nowhere else and a period Which is not well convert another museums. Recommended!

Really cool collection! The 4th floor collection was really cool. Awesome pieces from the middle of the century and early 20th century as well. The textile floor is also really interesting.

Fabulous and eclectic museum dedicated to Art Deco in all its forms from furniture to art to appliances to textiles. Not to be missed if your are an art deco fan. Don’t miss the gift shop.

Stunning art deco artifacts. I would love to go back and spend more time.

Great museum. Wonderful museum shop. And entrance free on Friday nights

Lovely art deco collection that has incorporated works from the 1920s through the 1940s into exhibits as well as architectural accents. They have temporary exhibits as well that add flavor to the already extensive museum. We saw the entire facility in 2.5 hours, some may take less time depending on how much you read about the pieces. If youre interested in the design of South Beachs iconic look, stop in and learn more. Gift shop is expensive, but they have a nice coffee bar inside with delightful employees.

Such a nice surprise in Miami beach, the Wolfsonian gives an insight into the development of art deco throughout history. Loved it.

A unique museum in South Beach exhibiting 1920s and 30s Art Deco artifacts.

A lovely place of art and contemplation. The museum of art deco is a breathtaking place, which gives you a perfect mixture of art, things of daily use back in the days, and actual historical information. I highly recommend this place to all art lovers.

This museum is a marvel. The cofee shop is one of the best in town.

Very interesting. One of the most stylish museums in the world ...

My daughter and I used Google maps to help us get to the Wolfsonian, it took us straight to it. Upon entering you immediately come head on with a gorgeous full size sculpture and art work. We were enthralled by the beautiful Art Exhibit and furniture and electrical gadgets from by gone times. I wanted to stay in the elevator itself longer than we had to. Gargoyle head on each side, it looked like it belonged from a different era or a Scarry movie. We stopped at their very cool Cafe/Gift Shop on the way out for a delicious Macchiato.Loved it!

Amazing collection and very diverse. Illustrations, retro kitchen gear, furniture, paintings, and sculptures. Highly recommend this place. Also its not overwhelming to go through - my wife and I got to explore all the floors in about 2.5 hours.

Cool place to learn about Art Deco and the history. Maybe takes an hour or 2 to go through the whole museum.

Small and compact museum, but very informative for whom interested in salient events and some important social, political and industrial turning points of late 19th and 20th centuries.

A wonderful place, go check out the current Cuban exhibition on Conrado Massaguer!

Awesome art in here. This But collected some of the coolest stuff astound. Loved Every minute of it. Also of of the stops on the self guided walking tour of Ocean drive and south beach.

Fascinating place. If you are into Art Deco is a must see. Only takes about an hour to cover whole place.

Great museum about design. Now showing Mass Market Art Deco and Italian Textile Art Deco

Amazing and interesting collection and journey through architectural history

Went there with an FIU student. Was unaware that FIU students have free admission. Attendant advised us of that much and was much appreciated.Exhibits are appropriately focused on the art deco movement, and given its prominence in the surrounding area, its a good calm detour. Affordable and pleasant.

Interesting place to see. I think its a little over priced like everything else in Miami Beach. Nothing amazing but everything interesting.

Extremely disappointed that when we called this morning the message on their answering machine gave their hours & admission cost. When we arrived it was closed and the sign looked like it had been placed awhile ago.

I enjoyed this more than PAMM, but that may just be because of my personal preferences. A fascinating collection of multi-medium 20th century art and objects ranging from Italian Fascism to Art Deco to pro-labor pieces to retro toaster collections and New Deal publications. The building is also historic and beautiful in its own right. The curators and guides in the museum were good folk.

Very cool museum that covers the History of Art Deco. Lots of vintage items.

While it is a very neat museum, the collection is relatively small. Which could be good or bad depending on what youre looking for. If you want a drop all day immersive museum, this is probably not what youre looking for. However, if you want a relatively quick, interesting, and different excersion, this could be right up your alley.Their gift shop/coffee shop is very neat! Some different items than a number of the museum shops Ive been in lately (though definitely of the same theme). And the coffee shop is a nice twist. I think it could be a fun little place to read or meet a friend.

A great experience! Visual works collected and organized to tell stories.

Awesome Art Deco museum. Really interesting for history of art buffs. Seven floors actually turned out to be five, but enjoyed it nevertheless.

Interesting museum. Nice to be away from the tourist hustle

Rare collection and a go go place that is actually rare to be found on a location famous for having a great ocean drive.

I found this exhibit pretty expensive for its size. When I went there was only one floor open and it costed 12$ for entry.. there were a few cool pieces though. The gift shop was very interesting and I found some neat stuff.

I came on a Friday night, as every Friday night from 6-9 PM the Wolfsonian is FREE! It is so much more than an art museum, as in addition to paintings, there are all kinds of random artifacts, including even antique household items, and other objects from the daily lives of people in the past dating as far back as 1850. The gift shop has very interesting items as well. It is not a good place for young kids, as they would probably be bored, and would not be able to observe silence, but anyone with an interest in art or history museums should not be disappointed. As with most of Miami Beach, there is no free parking in the vicinity, but that is not the museums fault. I will definitely return.

This was a lovely surprise in the heart of South Beach! A quiet, artful santuary . Highly recommended!

So well managed and so beautiful. The exhibits are things you would not see anywhere else.

Enjoyed this place very much. Lots of unique Art Deco art and design. Took me about 1.5 hours to complete

The Wolfsonian is a great museum concentrating on art deco culture (all aspects - art, fashion, architecture, graphic design, etc). A must see for all the nerds out there.

A must for design lovers, especially for Art Nouveau buffs. Great collection.

Eclectic and quirky, plus revolving exibits on upper floors. Its a design museam with an odd collection which I completely enjoyed.

Nice collection whose curation fawns a little too much over its collector.

Beautiful museum, such good quality art and a variety of works for artblovers and art enthusiasts of all sorts . Fair ticket price . Good place to find some historical works and propaganda work as well .

Delicate artwork through the history of the past century reside here at the Wolfsonian owned by Florida International University.

Beautifully designed things! Not everything is open all the time

Would I Return? - YESWould I Recommend? - YESA fantastic place to spend the time. Take a guided tour or explore on your own, either way youll be sure to enjoy.Check out the website to see whats current and upcoming.I particularly enjoyed the :️old school kitchen gadgets on display,️ the Art of Labour exhibit️ Wit as Weapon (A small collection but a very interesting display of wartime propaganda)No onsite parking, but there are nearby public lots available.

Great building, friendly and helpful staff, great coffee and original exhibits.

Excellent collection of eclectic mostly Art Deco items

Great place to visit. A must do in South Beach.

Lots of art deco and other things to see.

Located on South Beach. Parking is available on the street or in nearby public lots. There is a gift shop on the first floor. Bathrooms are available. Check for days when the entrance is free. There are several restaurants and coffee shops in the area.This is a great museum with several floors full of exhibitions. Antique furniture, historical pieces, and art prints being displayed. Check the website to see what is currently being displayed. Great place for families, dates, and educational purposes.

An interesting exhibit of art deco influences

I loved it here. The exhibits were very well thought out. I only wish there was more of a permanent exhibit in place. I could spend all day in an art deco museum, but I understand why museums here would get tired of that. The museum store was also an attraction in itself.

There is a special floor dedicated to Art Deco. Nice place to visit

Fabulous museum - small but mighty. Exhibits appeal to all ages and are extremely interesting. Good little store too.

Although Ive lived in Miami for 18 years Ive never been to this Museum. Pleasant surprises await. Excellent Russian history exhibit! Also a very beautiful Museum. If youre visiting South Beach I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great exhibits of the applied / practical arts from 1850 - 1950. (no plastic!)

Wonderful Art-Deco Museum. Try to start on the 7th floor and work your way down. Hour to 2. Tilted toward commercial, industrial applications, furniture and appliances. Great collection of Italian scarf designs also featured.

Take the time to read the descriptions. Art deco and beyond with a spotlight on government propaganda

If you like art deco youll love this place. A good-sized, representative collection of art deco furniture, furnishings, appliances, architectural decorations, and so on.

We enjoyed the Wolfsonian. It gave a nicer detail about art deco and had several floors of exhibits. The staff was willing to answer all questions.

One of the few museums in Miami that still has a historic art collection. Even the Lowe and the Bass have abandoned their collection in favor of only contemporary art. This is a hidden jewell in South Beach featuring art and design on the modern age (1850 - 1950). Also a beautiful Cafe for a meal though it is a bit overpriced.

A very interesting museum! They specialize in Soviet Propoganda and they also have household items from different eras on display. You dont see exhibitions like this in other museums. I think this might be a hidden gem, because we were the only people there for a while, and then only two more families came. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there was a whole floor that was closed, and one of the floors was just the lobby to the closed library with one glass case with journals.

Cute museum with a ton of art deco stuff.

Considering Miami Beach is such an iconic spot for Art Deco the exhibition is good but too small. I takes longer to wait fo the elevator than to see the library floor exhibition.

Really cool museum. Nice for a date.

Had a great and peaceful time.

Oh this was amazing visiting. The tour guide was knowledgeable and in my opinion not bias. He spoke of the beginning of ships. Well not the beginning but as far as there were images and itineraries from old cruises. Amazing to see what wowed people

Amazing vegan food at modest prices. We definitely enjoy everything here !

This unique museum houses a wide variety of everyday objects, paintings and sculptures. Well worth a visit!

Some interesting art and sculptures. Poor facilities for conference. Coffee shop was quite good and staff were friendly all around. Location makes it an easy spot to visit while in South Beach.

Excellent collection of Art Deco and Arts and Crafts pieces from The United State as well as UK and other countries. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Miami Beach.

Best gift shop of All time

Be sure to stop by on a Friday night between 6-9 for free admission! Yes free in Miami! Its fun and educational yet relaxed. Bring the kids, there is a lot to do. Great shop with a fun coffee bar

Such a gem. We spent a couple hours and were very happy with it.

We took our daughter for family event and enjoyed making art and finding all the images on the map through the exibit. Went in expecting to see a small private collection. It was nicely displayed.

If your into art Deco your in the right place

This museum is interesting for people wanting to learn more about art deco.

Its hardly the one of the kind museum,they proclaim. Ive seen such exhibits,at modern art or history museums,many times before my recent visit to;The Wolfsonian. At best,they present their exhibits,a little differently.

Lovely exhibit filled with plenty of fascinating objects displaying our storied history

This is a great little museum with an eclectic collection of different Art Deco and modern Italian art.

Awesome museum with a great variety of Art Deco collection from all over the world.

Ever changing exhibits of the most of beautiful everyday objects thoughout the past century.

A very nice local museum. It has exhibits on several floors, some are closed for renovation though. There is a collection of communist propaganda, which properly kept: looks as if it was printed yesterday. Pay attention to the ceiling because it does look gorgeous. The elevator is also worth looking at. The museum is free on Fridays. In addtion, it has a charming little giftshop.

Must see for art deco lovers and a great way to take a break from the hot Miami weather.

Surprisingly large museum with an amazing collection. Free on Friday nights! Great gift shop, too!

Great tour of the permanent collection on Friday night. Also enjoyed the current exhibit of Soviet era propaganda posters. Last year I saw Bernice Abbott’s photographs taken along Route 1. This museum is a gem.

Intro film sets up goal of collector and museum. Driving force for collection is all that the industrial revolution created to make modern lives more interesting and efficient. Wolfson notes his collection and personal interest are contrary to what comes from nature; he is steadfastly fascinated by that which man creates for enjoyment. Period is 1920s through art deco and beyond

Lots of very high quality items for sale in the shop and there is a coffee shop for your convenience. Air conditioning for those hot Miami days. Well worth a visit.

Cant beat their collection. One of my favorite museums to go to.

Im not much of an admirer of art, but I do like history. This place was described to me as a propaganda museum which led me to believe it was like war time propaganda. But thats not really what the focus was. The focus was more of Cuban-American relations through history. So this wasnt really what I expected. However, I have no doubt that there are lots of people that would appreciate it. For it not being what I expected, Im giving it 4/5 stars. It was free to get in on Friday evening which was nice.

Incredible museum with some very interesting pieces that make you view industrialism in a whole new light!

Good place to check out..

Outstanding museum if you’ve got 45 min -1hr to kill. Admission is free on Fridays after 5pm, otherwise it is 10$ per person.

Terrific small museum. I enjoyed it a lot.

Transcendent. How to express how entirely worthwhile it is to step into this place and behold its geniusly curated works, so many treasures so eloquently and lovingly situated?

Amazing museum. Modern art and culture in a small but perfect place.

The stars are for the service only. The museum is very dark and boring. Not for children. My 5 year old wanted to leave and she likes art!

Isabel, the tour guide at 6 oclock (free entry btw) was very expressive, very knowledgeable and engaged the crowd... Definitely recommending the tour with her

It is an awesome museum to visit. There are many things to see and the exhibits are clear.
