Miami Beach, FL – May 21, 2013 – Miami Museum Month is going on throughout the city right now, with over 20 museums offering buy one get one free admission all month long. There’s so much to see in Miami, and most of us locals haven’t even been to two, if any, of the city’s museums. This time around, we’re featuring the Wolfsonian-FIU that’s right in the heart of South Beach on Washington Avenue. If you’ve ever walked by and wondered what’s inside, or maybe not even noticed it all, this is the perfect chance to check it out.

Right now, the Wolfsonian has three touring exhibitions on display. The first, Page at a Time, is a student showcase of five unique books created by fifth graders on display in the lobby through June 2, 2013. Just recently opened, Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen looks at how Americans ate and mass-produced foods in the first half of the 20th century, specifically examining modern technologies and design. Also just opened, Women in Motion: Fitness, Sport, and the Female Figure also focuses on the early 20th century but more on the increase in equality and rights for women in sports and physical activity in magazine advertisements and political propaganda. Both Modern Meals and Womein in Motion are on display until September 29, 2013.

With these three temporary exhibits, among the rest of the collection at the Wolfsonian and the BOGO free admission, there’s plenty of reason to head over before month’s end. Plus, they’ve got a museum shop full of cool gifts, and a cafe to grab a coffee or quick bite in. If you go on a Friday from 6 to 7pm, they have free guided tours. Take a mini tour below as you plan your visit.
