What to do in Wynwood
Wynwood is once a closed part, and now an art district in Miami. Wynwood is a formerly not recommended area in Miami for a number of reasons, which is now being revived and is in great demand for tourism. Extends south of the Design District.
This is a newly emerged and rapidly growing part of Miami, divided into 2 districts — Fashion District and Art District. Representatives of the proletariat used to live in the area, most of them were Puerto Rican emigrants. Today, much of the enterprises Wynwood turned into studios, galleries, private collections, museums, art complexes. Art District was originally created as an alternative to the rather expensive Design District at that time. The rather low cost of real estate in the city of Wynwood was appreciated by artists and other representatives of the culture who moved to Wynwood.
Wynwood is a city of art, the only city where murals of world-famous artists are painted on the walls, such as Mc Guiness, Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, and others. Wall murals in Wynwood are over forty.
During a visit to the Art District, you should definitely study the Rubell Family Collection — this is one of the most outstanding private collections in the USA of contemporary art. Collection collected brother and sister Rubell — Jason and Jennifer. This collection is an impressive collection of avant-garde specimens: photos, paintings, sculptures.
Another collection that deserves the attention of authoritative experts is Margulies. It includes both modern and old photos, videos, sculptures. Among the sculptural images are the creations of Warhol, Liechtenstein, Miro, among the photos are samples of Walker Evans and Cindy Sherman.
Wynwood Attractions
Wynwood is a city with a large number of objects such as art galleries, theaters and designer boutiques. The historic core of the city is the Moore Building, which originated as a furniture store, and is now a shopping center, in which various special events are held.
The main attractions of the Art District are wall paintings. This line of art, as street art, is available in a wide range. This is the largest world territory of street art. Similar to the Design District, the program “2nd Saturday of the month” is offered here: galleries on this night are open for everyone, free drinks are provided, and musicians play tunes all night on the street.
Nobody could even imagine that several paintings that were created for the Art Basel exhibition would be a separate art direction and an attribute of the city.
Restaurants and Shopping
There are many places with dishes that meet different tastes. The main choice of sophisticated restaurant critics is Michael's Genuine, as well as Federal. In the first institution, the interior includes industrial floors of concrete with red lights and flickering candles. It offers a variety of different dishes.
The peculiarity of the Federal Pub is the original presentation of the usual US dishes. There is an opportunity to try the duck, on which the charred down remained, with sweet candied potatoes. Considerable attention deserves another restaurant called Jumbo's, which is a family establishment and is famous for delicious chicken and shrimp. In addition, Jumbo's restaurant has a rather rich history — this is one of the first restaurants in all of Miami, since it was opened back in 1966. Jumbo's first began to hire people of the black race.
