Wolfsonian-FIU, Art and design museum in South Beach, Miami Beach, US.
The Wolfsonian-FIU is a museum in Miami Beach dedicated to design, propaganda materials, and decorative arts. It houses around 200,000 objects created between 1850 and 1950, originating from Europe and other continents.
The building originally served as a warehouse for the Washington Storage Company in 1927. Mitchell Wolfson Jr. acquired it and established the museum in 1995 to document modernism's development and cultural influence.
The collection reflects how design and decorative arts shaped society across continents during industrialization and social change. Visitors can see how similar creative movements emerged simultaneously in different countries and cultures.
The museum is located in the Art Deco District and welcomes visitors daily throughout the week. A shop inside sells publications, jewelry, and design objects for those interested in taking something home.
The museum maintains a searchable digital catalog of 75,000 objects accessible online for research and discovery. A sister location in Nervi, Italy, focuses specifically on Italian decorative arts and design traditions.
