We look forward to seeing you!

Frank Lynn Gallery | May 20 – August 20, 2021

Soca’s series VelcroRealism began as a simple and intuitive exploration of Velcro, a material he is obsessed with because of its texture and properties. As a fabric fastener, the two sides of Velcro can be detached and recombined, endlessly. In this vein, VelcroRealism presents a reality that has the potential to be transformed, as much as our hyper-customized contemporary culture, where it is possible to choose between possible endings of a film or a tv series, while we consume tailored ads, based on our Internet searches.

Gallery 109 and Anthony R. Abraham Family Gallery | July 29 – November 8, 2021

This exhibition is comprised of recent paintings and sculptures by Coral Gables-based artist Carlos Alberto Fernández. A master of transparency, color, and light, Fernandez has long been fascinated by birds and flowers. In his most recent series, he combines circular formats and numismatic language in works that resemble coins. With them, he prompts us to reflect on the relationship between aesthetic beauty and monetary value in art as a whole.

Carole A. Fewell Gallery | August 6 – November 8, 2021

This exhibition will encompass a selection of watercolors and bronzes by American architect and graphic designer Richard Saul Wurman. Throughout the show, the Carole A. Fewell Gallery will be turned into a lounge area where artworks will be in dialogue with design furniture. Copies of Vitra’s 1967 classical Panton Chair will be randomly arranged in the space and will serve as a backdrop for a series of wireless-mic conversations with presenters in different fields. This program, in the style of Mr. Wurman’s conferences, will be organized by the Museum in collaboration with Mr. Wurman and Books & Books.

Join us for fun, educational bicycle tours through The City Beautiful. Each tour offers a different theme and route! Tours start at the Coral Gables Museum and include museum admission. Bike tours are presented by Bike Walk Coral Gables in partnership with the Coral Gables Museum. You will need to bring your own bike. Helmets are required for children under 16.

Each Saturday at 1:00 PM, the Museum offers a guided tour by a local expert of our ‘Creating the Dream’ exhibit.

The tour lasts about an hour and describes how George Merrick arrived in South Florida’s wilderness at the age of 13, and how he first of all dreamed, and eventually built the ‘City Beautiful’, America’s first and most successful planned city. The tour also features the museum building itself which was originally the city fire station, police station, courthouse, and jail
