The 20 Best Exhibitions to Discover in Florida this Winter

November 16, 2020

With its hundreds of miles of sun-kissed beaches and other outdoor attractions, Florida is one of the world’s most popular destinations for both US natives and visitors from further afield. But beyond the state’s natural treasures, Florida is also home to a huge number of museums, galleries and other distinguished cultural venues that invite you to explore everything from US military history to regional marine life to classic and contemporary art.

Spectral Vizcaya: An Evening of Illumination

The picturesque environs of the Vizcaya Museum and Garden will be the scene of a magical night of festivities this December. Called Spectral Vizcaya, the event sees the museum’s exterior spaces give way to striking sculptures, illuminations, projections, and performances that visualise the estate’s history. Guests are invited to dress in their finest tropical winter gear and meet the spirits of Vizcaya for the one-night-only occasion. Become a part of the show as your shadows meld with projections, and children carry lanterns along the path.
