Wynwood, Entertainment district and gay village in Miami, US.
Wynwood is a neighborhood in the northern part of Miami where former warehouses and factory buildings now house galleries, boutiques, cafés, and bars. The streets are lined with painted facades, open courtyards, and terraces where visitors move between different venues.
In the 1950s this area was an industrial zone shaped by Puerto Rican immigrants, with factories and workshops filling the blocks. From the mid-2000s onward, art projects and galleries began using vacant spaces and gradually reshaping the neighborhood.
The neighborhood takes its name from a 1920s dairy company that once operated here. Many building facades display large-scale works that are replaced several times a year, so the streetscape changes regularly as new pieces appear.
Many venues open late morning and remain accessible into the evening, with the neighborhood especially busy on weekends. Visitors on foot find shaded spots under awnings and in covered passages between buildings.
A small museum collects evidence of urban mural history and shows how techniques and materials have changed over the decades. Some courtyards hold hidden installations that only become visible when you pass through certain doorways.
