We were thrilled to have Elizabeth Bejar, Provost, Executive Vice President, and Chief Operating Officer of FIU, Rogelio Tovar, Chair of FIU Board of Trustees, and Tori Arpad-Cotta, MFA Chair, join us for an enriching day, as we turned the museum into an immersive learning space! 🖼️ BFA candidates from FIU embraced the museum as an extension
of their classroom, delving into the collection and contemplating questions of authenticity and aura as it relates to artwork in a digital age. Special thanks to all the talented students who made this day wonderful! And thank you to Rosa and Carlos for making this opportunity for learning possible! 🎨✨

We look forward to welcoming guests this coming Art Basel Miami Beach week to our current exhibition, “House in Motion / New Perspectives.”

“This year’s exhibition House in Motion / New Perspectives represents the collection's history, bringing together paintings, sculptures, and site-specific installations from our private collection. As always, works are installed to offer new perspectives and interpretations, emphasizing the fluid nature of contemporary art.”

Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz

We will be open special hours throughout the week, Wednesday, December 6 through Saturday, December 9, 2023, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Reservations are not necessary and admission is always free.
