You’re on your way to one of the many sunny beaches lining Miami’s infamous coasts. You stop short along the way, caught by the sight of a strange tower of rocks doused in Day-Glo paint against the sun drenched grass. Beyond leers a monolithic block of pale granite gray and out of curiosity, you step in.

Instantly, you’re sucked into a whirlwind of colors. Traditional oil pigments of Renaissance and Baroque preserved on paper are interspersed with splatters of bright colors between. Room after room contains a child’s palette flung across the white walls, eerie grinning clowns by Ugo Rondinone alongside a baffling collage of reflections across 52 mirrored, tinted windows. Inquiry with the docents by the information counter informs you that what began as a traditional art collection donated by the founders John and Johanna Bass has since expanded into the realm of interpretive and contemporary art. Colorful, playful and creative, the Bass Museum is a playground for Instagrammers from all over the world.
