The Bass Museum of Art

The Bass Museum of Art sits in Collins Park on Miami Beach and offers free admission to its galleries. The museum shows contemporary and historical work across rotating exhibitions, and the building itself, with its rotunda and art deco details, is part of what draws people in. On warm days, the air-conditioned galleries provide a cool refuge while you look at paintings, sculpture, photography, and installations by artists from around the world. The Bass also runs art camps, community programs, and tours for kids and families, and it hosts evening events and performances throughout the year. It is open Wednesday through Sunday, and Miami Beach residents can get free memberships.
