Art Deco Museum

Volunteer run passionate place with an Amazing shop! Go spend time there learning and browsing and buying some great art deco items! It is such a lovely way to understand the roots of South Beach!

Great little museum with some very interesting information, some good films and a smattering of art deco items that all explain the imagery and growth of the movement. There’s a great gift shop but best of all was the staff. There’s a great lady on the reception desk , she gave us a great map to follow and advised us to go look inside some of the buildings and hotels which we did. We spent a very pleasant 3 hours walking part of the route and entering some of the hotels, only 2 locations were not happy for us to go in but we bought drinks in a couple and soaked up both the modern air con the wonderful designs and an enjoyable beverage, my favourite was the bar in the Colony hotel and I loved the cool post office. They also have the best looking toilet block just out the back before the beach (Beach patrol HQ). Definitely visit its well worth it, only $7 or free to veterans etc.

I'll give my honest opinion. It's worth it if you're a resident or student because then it's free. The 7$ to get in, IMO you don't get your value, the museum is a small room and that's it. I enjoy Museums but this was a bit steep for what you get. If you really enjoy this type of stuff it could be worth it for you.

The museum, although small, is pretty interesting. The best part was the Art Deco walk. Damian was my guide and man is he knowledgeable! I learned a ton and gained a huge appreciation for the surrounding architecture. Couldn’t recommend the tour enough, especially if your guide happens to be Damian.

It’s a small museum but tickets are cheap! And the whole tour is interesting … after which we walked to all the buildings and viewed them with a fresh perspective!! Definitely a must do when in south beach!

Small museum and we learn very interesting facts about the architecture of Miami.

A nice little museum laying out, quickly, how Art Deco and other styles took over South Beach, and how the styles were revitalized decades later. It was a nice thing to do during a day of rain.

Start your visit at Mismi Beach to get an understanding of its unique architectural heritage.
