Museum of Graffiti

A museum in Miami's Wynwood district that traces graffiti from its origins in 1960s and 1970s counter-culture to its place in today's art market, with an indoor display and outdoor murals.

The Museum of Graffiti presents the development of street art in an indoor exhibition space that holds works by established artists, alongside archival material. The displays follow graffiti's path from vandalism and protest to underground practice and mainstream culture, showing how a form once treated as damage to property came to be sold at auction.

The museum is located in Wynwood, a former industrial district that has been transformed by large wall murals. Eleven outdoor murals decorate the exterior, and a fine art gallery is also part of the site. The gift shop sells authentic artworks, memorabilia, merchandise and one-of-a-kind pieces from Miami's art scene.

The visit suits anyone interested in the history of street art and the way it moved from the streets into galleries and collections. It can be combined with a walk past the outdoor murals in the surrounding neighborhood.
