Grand Opening of the George Daniell Museum in South Beach
April 3, 2019 @ 6:00 pm
Wednesday, April 3rd from 6pm – Midnight experience the Grand Opening of the George Daniell Museum in South Beach’s New Wilzig Museum Building during Miami Beach Pride Week. The Wilzig Museum (World Erotic Art Museum) is located in South Beach, which currently houses the WEAM, the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to fine erotic art founded by the late Naomi Wilzig in 2005. The opening of the George Daniell Museum is the first step in the development of the space as a future multi-museum building. The grand opening will take place as part of Miami Beach Pride Week in partnership with WEAM and will feature music by DJs Andres Aguirre and Mayra Jaimes, an open bar, and access to the museum galleries. There will be a George Daniell pop-up shop that will offer first access to limited edition photo portfolios by the artist.
George Daniell was a gay American photographer and artist. He worked for Time and Life magazines, and was known for his portraits of Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Lena Horne, and Georgia O’Keeffe. The new George Daniell Museum features photographs, paintings and aquarelles from throughout the artist’s life, reborn into the public consciousness thanks to the German organization Zentraldepot.
