    Very nice museum

    I found this museum to very well set out with lots to look at. Decent price for $10, though I noticed afterwards it was free for military members, which I didn't realise. Worth the visit I think though and great little shop to visit afterwards.

    Great collection, beautiful cafe and shop

    This is a great museum in a remarkable building, at a convenient location on Washington Avenue, not far from the beach. It was a real delight to find this museum and its temporary exhibition on Dutch design. Both the exterior and interior had been transformed...More

    So much to enjoy

    We had taken an Art Deco walking tour and the Wolfsonian was "mentioned." Then we were introduced to Harry Clarke's magnificent stained glass work while in Ireland and heard the Wolfsonian owned his most famous piece-the Geneva window. So we put the museum at the...More

    An interesting museum that covers a lot of areas of interest.

    Rainy day in South Beach, perfect for visiting the Wolfsonian at Florida International University. The museum presents a handful of topics with clarity and good explanations.

    A unique and ever changing collection of Art Deco

    If like us you love Art Deco style, and dream of living in a Poirot set, then the Wolf's onion is an absolute 100% must see museum.

    Other than the beaches! The Wolfsonian is an icon of history, art and cultural analysis: smart and fun! On a cloudy day, head over.

    Amazing colour, walls and floors plus a beautiful well before you enter the lifts. We really enjoyed viewing the exhibition and enjoyed the fact that there was hardly anyone there so we could view the artefacts at a leisurely pace. There's also a lovely cafe...More
