Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami

61 NE 41st St, Miami, FL 33137, USA

Free contemporary art museum in a magnet-shaped building, born from a bitter city lawsuit.

This guide to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami traces a 2014 lawsuit between a museum board and the city of North Miami, sparked by a rejected bond and a director's exit that sent trustees and city officials to court over roughly seven hundred artworks. You'll hear how a judge-brokered settlement split the collection, and how auto dealer and collector Norman Braman bankrolled a fresh start for the departing board. That new institution opened in Miami's Design District in December 2017.
