“Good, but not impressive”

3 of 5 stars
Naples, Florida
Jul 27, 2008

I really shouldn't complain because I got in for free, but I really wasn't impressed by the collection.

The building is in great shape, and there's a nice little cafe and bookstore/gift shop on the bottom floor.

Maybe it was because I visited in July, but there only three or the six exhibition floors had stuff.

The first floor I visited had a very brief exhibit that I read in less than five minutes.

The next floor I went to housed the museum's permanent collection. It was ecletic and interesting, but there wasn't a lot to it.

The top floor had artwork related to the Great Depression. Again, interesting, but not a whole lot there. I was done in less than an hour with the whole place.

Perhaps the museum offers more during the winter season; I hope so because the building itself is amazing.

“Visit the Museum, Skip the Soda”

The Wolfsonian is a revamped 1927 storage facility that has been beautifully converted into a museum of mainly decorative arts, including propaganda and advertising art. Most of the exhibits are on the 5th to 7th floor with some dynamic and interesting pieces. The museum is open late on Thursdays. There is a beautiful cafe that looks like an old library, but when we took a break from viewing the museum and just wanted 2 cans of soda, we were charged a total of $7.62, including tax and an added tip! That is totally outrageous, even for South Beach!
