Their museum — encompassing 7,200 works by more than 1,000 artists – helped pioneer the model for sharing private collections have contributed to Wynwood’s place in leading the art world.
Since the beginning, the Rubells have focused on finding artists early in their careers and those who have been overlooked.

The museum also hosts curatorial training internships and artist residencies.
The space will be transformed by Selldorf Architects.
