Rubell Family Art Collection

This impressive collection, owned by the Miami hotelier family, the Rubells, is housed in a two-story 40,000-square-foot former Drug Enforcement Agency warehouse in a sketchy area north of downtown Miami. The building looks like a fortress, which is fitting: Inside is a priceless collection of more than a thousand works of contemporary art, by the likes of Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul McCarthy, Charles Ray, and Cindy Sherman. But be forewarned: Some of the art is extremely graphic and may be off-putting to some. The gallery changes exhibitions twice yearly and there is a seasonal program of lectures, artists' talks, and performances by prominent artists. As of press time, the gallery was looking to move to a larger space nearby toward the end of 2002 to accommodate this ever-growing, ever-impressive collection.

95 NW 29th St.Phone: 305/573-6090.Open: Thurs-Sat 9am-9pm and by appointment.Free admission.
