A former Drug Enforcement Agency warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection located in Wynwood proves to be anything but conventional. Spanning 40,000-square-feet, the museum tailors the whole first floor as the “New Shamans” exhibit, which features the work of artists who hail from South America. While the downstairs transports you into an enriching world that addresses environmental, social and political concerns, the museum’s “High Anxiety: New Acquisitions” is more therapeutic: the exhibit uses art to channel and understand everyday nerves and stresses. If you’re an art book junkie, visit the museum’s modern art bookstore as well as the research library filled with over 40,000 volumes. Currently located in Wynwood, the Rubell Family Collection in 2018 will move from its reformed DEA location to a 100,000-square-foot location on a 2.5-acre space in Miami’s Allapattah District, enhancing its status as a contemporary art powerhouse.
