Destination Deco
April 17–October 16, 2019
Miami International Airport @ 2100 NW 42nd Avenue
Displayed in Miami International Airport’s North Terminal D, Destination Deco presented a selection of Art Deco works from the Wolfsonian collection in conjunction with the museum’s current exhibition, Deco: Luxury to Mass Market. From exquisite handcraft to streamlined product design, this “preview” installation curated with travelers in mind revealed the multifaceted, global character of the iconic style so central to Miami Beach. Celebrated at the 1925 Paris International Exposition, Art Deco spread throughout Europe before traveling to the United States, embracing both a machine aesthetic and the tropical glamour expressed in the world-famous architecture of South Beach’s Art Deco district.
