About The Wolfsonian–Florida International University
The Wolfsonian is a museum, library, and research center that uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it means to be modern, and to tell the story of social, historical, and technological changes that have transformed our world. The collections comprise approximately 120,000 objects from the period of 1885 to 1945—the height of the Industrial Revolution to the end of the Second World War—in a variety of media including furniture; industrial-design objects; works in glass, ceramics, and metal; rare books; periodicals; ephemera; works on paper; paintings; textiles; and medals.

Guided tours of one gallery floor are every Friday at 6pm.

The Wolfsonian receives ongoing support from The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the City of Miami Beach, Cultural Affairs Program, Cultural Arts Council; the William J. and Tina Rosenberg Foundation; United Airlines, the Official Airline of The Wolfsonian–FIU; and Bacardi USA, Inc.

The Wolfsonian-FIU’s museum shop and café, The Dynamo, provides South Beach with a unique venue for thoughtful contemplation and interaction with genuine artifacts. Visitors can enjoy a glass of wine and browse the museum’s exclusive line of merchandise relating to the themes and period of the objects on view in the galleries, or find new reading material from the shop’s selection of books on design and social history, banned literature and design journals.
