The Wolfsonian at Florida International University is a cool museum in Miami Beach that digs into the modern world's creative and thought-provoking side. From 1850 to 1950, they explore how things went from farm life to city living, and how design shaped our past, present, and future. With over 200,000 objects, they've got everything from everyday gadgets, art, furniture, textile, rare books and periodicals to monumental architectural plans. Founded by the design-loving Micky Wolfson, this place is a cultural gem that's been drawing in art and history buffs since 1995. So, if you're into uncovering the stories behind everyday stuff, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Don't leave without stopping by the Design Store + Coffee Bar and browse their selection of design-oriented gifts and exclusive line of merchandise relating to the themes of the museum's collection and exhibitions. Decked out with a beautiful 1915 shelving system, the shop carries innovative travel accessories, kitchenware, watches, jewelry, clocks, toys, and books—including award-winning Wolfsonian publications.
