Explore contemporary art at the Bass Museum of Art
Bass Museum
Originally inaugurated in 1964 by the City of Miami, the Bass Museum of Art underwent a mammoth $12-million transformation in 2015; one that focused on putting the visitor experience first but maintaining the beauty of the original 1930s art deco structure. It is now at the forefront of Miami’s booming contemporary-art scene, priding itself on showcasing an expansive range of media and international artistic views. Current shows include a display of works by the Bazaar favourite Laure Prouvost – entitled ‘They are Waiting for You’ –which runs until 2 September. A solo show by Paola Pivi opens on 13 October.
The Bass Museum of Art, 2100 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL 33139. Call them at (305) 673 7530 or visit their website, thebass.org
