Rubell Museum

About Rubell Museum

The Rubell Museum is a contemporary art museum founded by Mera and Don Rubell, housing one of the world's largest privately owned collections of contemporary art. Spanning a wide range of artistic practices, the museum features works by established and emerging artists from the 1960s to the present day, with a focus on painting, sculpture, photography, and installation art. Each year, the museum presents exhibitions that draw from its vast collection, often highlighting specific themes, movements, or artists. Originally established as the Rubell Family Collection in 1993 in a repurposed DEA warehouse, the museum relocated in 2019 to its current, significantly expanded home in a former DEA confiscation facility in the Allapattah neighborhood. This move allowed for greater exhibition space and improved facilities for public programming and artist residencies, solidifying its role as a major cultural institution. The collection is notable for its early acquisition of works by artists who later achieved international recognition, reflecting the founders' long-standing engagement with and support of contemporary art. Located at 1100 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127, the Rubell Museum is accessible by various modes of transport. Visitors can plan their visit around the museum's operating hours: Wednesday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM, and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. For detailed information on exhibitions and visitor services, checking the official website at http://rubellmuseum.org/ is recommended.
