It’s a bird’s-eye view of March programs and experiences! Read below for a snapshot of what’s coming up next month at The Wolf—from films, lectures, and FREE culture nights to collaborations with contemporary artists. You’ll also want to check out Aerial Vision, their sweeping exhibition about perspective in the age of flying, building, and moving with speed. The show closes in April, so March marks the last full month to check out the art and witness the hopes, dreams, and anxieties of a newly modern world.
* Please note our new hours, Wednesday–Sunday 10am–6pm (Fridays until 9pm), and new admission rates with a special offer of free entry for Florida residents. The Wolfsonian is prioritizing in-person programs and experiences, however given the fluidity of the COVID-19 situation and risks to public health, some events may pivot to virtual. Check wolfsonian.org for the latest.
