The Bass

Get artsy on Miami Beach
Noteworthy for: The museum has a stunning altarpiece by Renaissance masters Sandro Botticelli and Domenico Ghirlandaio, one of only a handful of Botticelli's on public view in the US.

A beautiful example of art deco architecture, the building could almost trump the collection inside with its futuristic white facade and acres of glass. In fitting with its design, the space incorporates contemporary exhibitions alongside its 3,000-strong permanent collection of antiquities, Renaissance and Baroque art. There's enough to interest while still being a manageable size.
Perfectly located in walking distance of Lincoln Road, the hotel strip and numerous restaurants, the Bass Museum is an easy option for a culture hit. This area is referred to as Collins Park Cultural Center triangle, as you'll find the Miami City Ballet and the Miami Beach Regional Library here too, which is a great place to get free Wi-Fi.

End your visit at the great new gift shop with artist editions, jewelry, and books, or check out the daily activities and events, as well as free docent-led tours every Saturday at 2pm.
