Walk into a re-creation of Interama—Miami’s futuristic fair of the Americas from the 1960s. Under development for decades, Interama was never built but captured the imagination of planners, architects and public officials during an era when Miami increasingly perceived itself as a hemispheric crossroads. See for the first time Interama drawings by such world-renowned figures as architectural renderer Hugh Ferriss and architects Marcel Breuer and Louis Kahn. Visitors of all ages will enjoy a multi-sensory environment filled with video projections, computer interactive and hands-on activities related to design, social change and politics in post-World War II Miami and the Americas.

Guest curated by Allan Shulman and Jean-Francois Lejeune, professors of architecture at the University of Miami.

Anne Mergen: Florida Cartoons
On display June 21 through September 4

View the editorial cartoons of one of the first women in the United States to break into this male-dominated field. Anne Mergen’s cartoons brought awareness to many issues that affected Florida, including Dade County. View Mergen’s original cartoon renderings that eventually received national attention and paved the way for other women to enter this field.

Back issues of the Historical Museum’s scholarly journal, Tequesta, are now online.

Published annually since 1941, Tequesta contains articles about the history of South Florida, especially of the Miami area, the Florida Keys and the Everglades. The breadth and depth of the articles make Tequesta one of the best sources for the study of South Florida history.

Electronic versions of Tequesta have been produced by Florida International University Libraries’ Digital Collections Center, thanks to funding from the State University Libraries’ Florida Heritage Program
