Once a cluster of forgotten warehouses, Wynwood has transformed into one of the world's hippest creative neighborhoods. Today its walls are covered in vibrant murals, its warehouses house museum-quality collections, and its streets buzz with breweries, taquerias and boutiques. Here is everything you need to know to explore Miami's art district.
The heart of the district is the Wynwood Walls, an open-air museum at 2520 NW 2nd Avenue founded by the late developer Tony Goldman in 2009. General admission (around $12, with kids under 12 free) grants access to more than 40 large-scale murals, a dozen sculptures and several fine-art galleries within the courtyard. It is open daily, and the rotating roster of international artists means there is always something new to see.
Beyond the paid courtyard, the surrounding streets are a free, ever-evolving canvas. Walk NW 2nd Avenue and the cross streets around 25th and 26th to discover murals that change with each season. For a deeper dive into the city's creative scene, browse our list of cultural attractions in Miami.
Wynwood is home to over 70 galleries and art spaces. A few standouts are worth planning your visit around:

Just north of Wynwood lies the Miami Design District, an easy add-on to your day. While Wynwood leans gritty and creative, the Design District is sleek and luxurious, blending high-end fashion boutiques, designer showrooms, public art installations and acclaimed restaurants. Walking or taking a short rideshare between the two gives you the full spectrum of Miami's art and design scene in a single outing.
All that art-gazing builds an appetite, and Wynwood is one of Miami's best food and drink destinations. Sip a flagship beer at Wynwood Brewing Company, Miami's first craft brewery, or try the experimental brews at J Wakefield Brewing and Veza Sur. For food, grab tacos at Coyo Taco, fresh bread and bagels at Zak the Baker, or settle in at the laid-back bar Gramps. Coffee lovers should not miss Panther Coffee, a local roasting institution. See more options in our list of Wynwood food and drink spots.
If you can, plan your trip around the Wynwood Art Walk, held the second Saturday of every month. Galleries stay open late, food trucks line the streets, and live music turns the whole district into a festive block party. It is the best way to experience Wynwood at full energy.
Wynwood is proof that Miami's creativity extends far beyond the beach. Whether you spend an hour or a full day, the murals, galleries and flavors will leave a lasting impression. Planning more of your trip? Start at our Miami travel guide.
