The Bass Museum

The Bass Museum of Art is Miami Beach's premier contemporary art museum, showcasing international exhibitions of mid-career and established artists alongside design, architecture, and fashion in a historic 1930s Art Deco building. Founded in 1964 through John and Johanna Bass's donation of over 500 works to the City of Miami Beach, it has become a cornerstone of South Florida's vibrant art scene with major expansions in 2002 and 2017 boosting its facilities and programming. Nestled in Miami Beach's cultural heart, The Bass Museum connects global contemporary art to diverse local audiences, hosting innovative shows and community events.
