Collins Avenue in South Beach is a cacophony of t-shirt shops, gazillion tourists, segways, honking cars, little free parking, Yikes. Yet, in the midst of this is The Wolfsonian–Florida International University a museum, library, and research center . According to its Web site the museum "uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it... More

The Wolfsonian offers a nice and worthwhile break from the beach. The building is historic and beautifully restored. The collection is interesting, the gift shop fun, and the cafe a nice stop. More

If you are in South Beach this facility is worth a visit, I would not suggest a special trip unless you are a big mid century modern design fan.

Overall, very interesting review of art dating back to the early 1900's. A lot of history to review and gave you some insight as to the origin of items during the world war and wold fairs.
