  Get to Know Us
  The Wolfsonian–FIU is a museum that explores the inventive and provocative character of the modern world. Through objects and design, we reveal how the past influences the present and shapes the future.

Art Deco Crosses the Atlantic

Date: Saturday, January 18, 2025
Time: 1–2pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue

Following the landmark 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Art Deco blossomed, transforming everything from skyscrapers and cars to teacups and everyday objects. Art historian Madeleine Deschamps will explore a design movement mirroring a society in flux, balancing exuberance with social change in France and the United States.

Organized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend in partnership with Alliance Française Miami Metro.
