Museums / Galleries, South Beach/Miami Beach
Fodor's Review:
An elegantly renovated 1927 storage facility is now both a research center and home to the 70,000-plus-item collection of modern design and "propaganda arts" amassed by Miami native Mitchell ("Micky") Wolfson Jr., a world traveler and connoisseur. Broad themes of the 19th and 20th centuries -- nationalism, political persuasion, industrialization -- are addressed in permanent and traveling shows. Included in the museum's eclectic holdings, which represent art deco, art moderne, art nouveau, Arts and Crafts,
and other aesthetic movements, are 8,000 matchbooks collected by Egypt's King Farouk.
