Wolfsonian

SOUTH BEACH. An intriguing cross section of objects distinguishes this eclectic museum, which has been built around Mitchell Wolfson Jr.'s private collection of decorative arts. A seven-story Mediterranean Revival building houses furniture, paintings, prints, industrial designs, books and sculpture donated by Wolfson. More than 100,000 items from the Industrial Age of the late 19th and early 20th centuries help to elucidate the use of art and design in political propaganda, travel, architecture and other disciplines in nations around the globe.
