Art Basel Miami Museum & Food Guide

Art Basel Miami - Bombay Sapphire Lounge at Scope

Art Basel debuted in Miami Beach in 2002. Since then, Art Basel Miami has become the favorite annual winter meeting place for the international artworld. On December 3–6, once again, Art Basel Miami will take over the Miami Beach Convention Center and nearby Collins Park. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs, films, & works of the highest quality are displayed in the main exhibition hall, while ambitious artworks & performances become part of the landscape at nearby Collins Park.

In addition to the main event hosted in the Miami Beach Convention Center, satellite shows and galleries have spread out over Miami Beach as well as neighboring districts, – such as Wynwood, Arts & Entertainment and MiMo to create Miami Art Week.

We’ve put together a few of the best satellite art shows and eats on the beach and by district for art-loving, party-hopping foodies.
