Miami Beach's Wolfsonian is home to an array of North American and European glass, ceramics, furniture and artwork, a great introduction to design over the last century. The symbolic Wrestler, created for the 1932 Olympics, stands proud in the vestibule.
The museum was formed by the Wolfsonian Foundation, which was itself founded in 1986 to support the study of European and American cultural history from 1885-1945. The gallery holds the Mitchell Wolfson Jr Collection of more than 50,000 examples of political, decorative and design arts in media, ranging from furniture and architectural fragments to rare books and ephemera.
