The Wolfsonian-FIU Museum was founded in 1986 to
exhibit, document, and preserve the Mitchell Wolfson, Jr. Collection
of Decorative and Propaganda Arts, a vast assemblage of objects that
includes furniture, paintings, books, prints, industrial and decorative
art objects.
Through exhibitions and special programs, the museum explores the
important role of design at the height of the industrial age (1885-1945)
in the context of social, political, and technological issues. In
1997 the museum became a division of FIU, when Micky donated his collection
and museum facility to the university, the largest gift ever contributed
to a public university in Florida.Learn
