Back in the '30s, well-heeled New Yorkers migrated to the Florida tropics as a getaway from the cold, often staying in the art-deco hotels designed by Lawrence Murray Dixon, Miami Beach's most prolific architect at the time. He designed 42 iconic hotels, including the Raleigh, the Tides, and the Marlin, in what is now the historic Art Deco District. Compiling resources from the Bass' Lawrence Murray Dixon Archives, the museum is currently displaying rare architectural renderings and vintage, sepia-toned photographs that shed much light on the visionary's oeuvre.
