    The collection is so small, doesn't worth 12$ per ticket. Come on Friday's evening for free. The building itself is beautiful example of art deco. Good gift shop.

    You already know the Wolfsonian boasts the best collection of design classics in Miami but sometimes its exterior is used an illuminated canvas for selected works. Watch this [wall] space.

    Great museum that focuses much more on design advances than traditional art. See how the products we use everyday have progressed over the years!
