Rubell Family Collection
On practically everyone’s short list of Miami recommendations, the Rubell Family Collection—originally started in New York by Don and Mera Rubell but now housed in a 45,000-square-foot space adjacent to their Wynwood home—is an essential pit stop any time of the year. But the Rubells come into their own each December with their sweeping agenda-setting group exhibitions during Art Basel Miami Beach; not to mention their riotous food installation-as-conceptual breakfast created by their artist daughter, Jennifer Rubell.
