International Museum Day At Wiener Museum Of Decorative Arts

Visit the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts FREE of charge on International Museum Day, Tuesday, May 18. This is a great opportunity for you to see how this world-class museum in the heart of Dania Beach is enriching culture and inspiring visitors in South Florida.

The museum is one of the stars in the current “I Love Local” video presented by the City of Dania Beach. WMODA is one of the top attractions in Broward County according to TripAdvisor reviewers and the museum has been awarded their Certificate of Excellence for the four years in a row.

Experience the amazing Wiener collection of Fired Arts. You will not look at your pottery mug or glass tumbler in the same way once you discover Dale Chihuly’s stunning glass creations and the treasure trove of ceramic art at WMODA. The Wiener Museum galleries showcase the finest British pottery and porcelain from the last two centuries, including Wedgwood and Royal Doulton, as well as European designers from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras. The hot glass collection features amazing works of art by Lalique, Chihuly and other modern masters. The museum also showcases talented artists working in the community through the curated Studio Collection and WMODA shop.

The latest exhibit Earth · Air · Fire · Water celebrates the beauty of nature in the Fired Arts and stars Miami glass artist Rob Stern. Many different aspects of ceramic art and cultural history are presented in the lively exhibition program at WMODA.

Current exhibits include Fantastique, which conjures up the enchanted world of porcelain art; Carnival & Cabaret, which celebrates the art of having fun; A Safari for the Soul, which explores the Ardmore Studio in South Africa; and the Art of Tea, which gives a taste of the British social ritual of afternoon tea.

The theme of International Museum Day 2021 is “The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine” and the WMODA team is transforming this dazzling display of Fired Arts from a “Hidden Gem” in the community to the “Diamond of Dania Beach!” WMODA is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm and is located inside the Gallery of Amazing Things in Dania Beach, just south of the Fort Lauderdale – Hollywood International Airport. WMODA is a non-profit 501c3 museum.
