The Rubell Museum and Brightline: A Win-Win

Listen to the PODCAST


MIAMI_The Rubell Museum has a new home, and Brightline makes it easy for South Floridians to get there.

On Dec. 4, the Rubell left its longtime location in Wynwood to relocate less than a mile away in Allapattah, an up-and-coming neighborhood near downtown. Besides gaining more space for their extensive collection of contemporary art, it's convenient to public transit, a short ride from Brightline's Virgin MiamiCentral on Metrorail (Santa Clara station).  ​Even better, all Brightline customers will receive free museum admission by redeeming a special Brightline ticket illustrated with iconic pop artist Keith Haring's work, also featured on a specially-wrapped Brightline train.

This week, we joined a Brightline media event showcasing just how easy it is to get to the museum -- "car-free and care-free" --  from West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Join us as we explore the Rubell's fabulous inaugural exhibition...

Hop on Metrorail, just a short walk from Brightline's Virgin MiamiCentral station, and get off at Santa Clara. The
​ Rubell Museum is just a
few blocks away.
Picture
Picture
The museum is six connected industrial buildings, providing over 50,000 square feet of exhibit space in 40 galleries. 
Picture
The inaugural exhibition includes more than 300 works by 100 artists, providing, according to the museum,
"one of the most far-ranging museum exhibitions of
contemporary art ever presented."

Over 50 years, the museum has acquired over 7,000 works of art from 1,000 artists. Be aware, as they note, some of the art is for mature audiences only.
Picture
You'll find a wide range of work represented here, and the large, open spaces invite you to linger, move
​ around (and sometimes into)
the art itself. 
Picture
Picture
Vacuum cleaners lit by fluorescent  light and walls of beer cans are among the art on display. As they say, art reflects culture. BTW, don't try and sneak a can of beer -- I'm betting they know just how many there are supposed to be.

You don't want to miss the two immersive installations by the 90-year-old,  famed Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama --
"Where the Lights in My Heart Go" and "INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM – LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER."
You have to wear booties to enter, but both are mesmerizing. On the left, Pam's face is illuminated by
​ her phone, while on the right, we are captivated in a world of endless silver spheres

The special Brightline Rubell Museum train, featuring the work of Keith Haring -- a perfect way to get us home.
