Art and culture in Miami
Art Basel, Wynwood, the Design District and the city’s museums, a guide to Miami’s cultural side, from a private base on South Beach.
Art Basel and Miami Art Week
Each December, Art Basel Miami Beach turns the city into the art capital of the Americas, with satellite fairs, gallery openings and parties across South Beach, Wynwood and the Design District. It is the highlight of the cultural calendar, so book your stay early.
Wynwood and the Design District
Wynwood is Miami’s street-art district, its walls covered in murals at the Wynwood Walls and beyond, surrounded by galleries, breweries and restaurants. The neighbouring Design District blends luxury boutiques with public art, design showrooms and the ICA Miami contemporary art museum.
Museums and landmarks
On Biscayne Bay, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Frost Museum of Science anchor downtown’s waterfront. The Bass on Miami Beach shows contemporary art, while Vizcaya, a 1916 bayfront villa and gardens, and Little Havana’s Calle Ocho add history and culture beyond the beach.
Culture from a South Beach base
Most of Miami’s art and culture is a short drive from South Beach. Stay central and let your dedicated contact arrange tickets, private viewings and transfers, so you can dip into Wynwood, the Design District or a museum and be back at the beach by afternoon.

Miami’s cultural scene reaches far beyond the beach. Each December, Art Basel Miami Beach makes the city the art capital of the Americas, but the galleries and museums run all year. Wynwood is the street-art district, home to the Wynwood Walls; the neighbouring Design District blends luxury, public art and the ICA Miami; and on the bay, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Frost Museum of Science lead downtown’s waterfront. The Bass on Miami Beach, Vizcaya’s historic villa and Little Havana add further depth. Most of it is a short drive from South Beach, so a private residence with Miami Only One is the ideal base, with a dedicated contact for tickets, private viewings and transfers.
