Have You Heard Of These Four Art Galleries In Wynwood?

In the last ten years, Wynwood has transformed from a neighborhood cluttered with abandoned warehouses to a district renowned for its innovation and vibrant culture. 

The area offers a wide-variety of art galleries and museums to visit, whether you’re a tourist or a local. Here are four art galleries you should check out:

Paradox Museum

Have you seen videos on TikTok or Instagram of people walking on walls, seemingly defying gravity? These were taken at Paradox Museum, located in the heart of Wynwood at 2301 N. Miami Ave.

The museum features six different exhibits with various photo opportunities, including a warped Miami-style beach house and a gravity room that simulates outer space using optical illusions. 

All of the exhibits are interactive and suitable for all ages, except for the gravity room. 

Tours typically take an hour to an hour and a half. The museum is self-guided, but the staff is friendly and ready to help. 

Each exhibit has a QR code available in all languages for a better experience. 

Paradox Museum is open on weekdays from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
