Art Deco Weekend at The Wolf
Date: Saturday, January 16, 2027
Time: 11am–5pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
Each January, we team up with the Miami Design Preservation League for a day of thought-provoking talks during Miami Beach's annual Art Deco Weekend. In celebration of Art Deco Weekend's 50th anniversary and the centennial of The Wolfsonian's Washington Avenue home, this year's presentations explore our building's history, architect Mark Hampton's legacy, and aluminum's impact on 20th-century design. Stop by our library open house at 4pm to explore archival materials tracing the museum's evolution over the years, and discover the building at your own pace with Site-Seeing, a new self-guided audio tour debuting that weekend, featuring founder Micky Wolfson and key staff who shaped the museum. For the full festival schedule, visit artdecoweekend.org.
Organized with Miami Design Preservation League.
