Vizcaya Museum And Gardens

Modeled after grand 18th-century Italian villas, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Coconut Grove was built between 1914 and 1922 as the private waterfront estate of millionaire industrialist James Deering. Taking in the views of the elaborate, manicured gardens will transport you to another time and place. The east terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay feels like it’s part of a palazzo in Venice.

The Mediterranean Revival villa is filled with elaborate Renaissance tapestries, Rococo furniture, Chinese objects d’art, Roman sculptures and early 20th-century paintings.

Rooms are styled after different Italian cities: Milan in the Music Room, Palermo at reception and Venice in various bedrooms. It’s a totally transporting experience.

THE WOLFSONIAN–FIU

Situated in a historic Mediterranean Revival building in the heart of South Beach, The Wolfsonian–FIU is a museum, library and research center with an intriguingly specific scope and mission. The collection of 200,000 artifacts, photographs, design objects and artworks dating from 1850 to 1950 sheds light on “the persuasive power of art and design and explores what it means to be modern.”

Curators work with historical advertisements, posters, clothing, photographs and film to illustrate their theses.
