and Leslie, the latter a sunny yellow
and white confection featured in "Ace
Ventura Pet Detective."
Located just a few blocks apart, the
stylish, small hotels were brought to
South Beach by Island Records founder
Chris Blackwell (think Bob Marley,
U2, Roxy Music, Steve Winwood,
Grace Jones, Robert Palmer, Melissa
Etheridge and the Cranberries).
Short of staying in each Art Deco
gem, the best way to explore and
appreciate South Beach is on a guided
walking or bicycle tour, offered several
times each week from the Art Deco
District Welcome Center.
Or, rent a do-it-yourself audio-
tour and join the ranks of head-
setted tourists who roam the
roughly 10-block stretch, maps
and cameras in hand, absorbing
the fascinating history and admir-
ing the buildings' sleek, aerody-
namic lines and graceful curves.
Leave enough time to visit the
Wolfsonian Foundation, at
Washington Avenue and 10th Street.
Housed in a reincarnated Art Deco
warehouse once used by Miami's sea-
sonal residents to store household rich-
es in the off-season, it's an eclectic col-
lection of some 70,000 objects, mostly
from Europe and North America.
The museum, celebrating its
fourth anniversary as part of Florida
International University, showcases
furniture, decorative arts, paintings,
architectural models, sculpture and
industrial design, including artifacts
from the great World's Fairs, political
posters and propaganda. A document
archive, housing everything from
menus and travel brochures to vintage
magazines, is a treasure trove for
researchers.
Several blocks away, on the north-
ern edge of the Art Deco District, is
Miami's moving Holocaust
Memorial. Dedicated a decade ago
by Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel,
the centerpiece, an imposing bronze
hand, reaches 42 feet up into the
sky, with a tattooed number on its
forearm and sculptured figures
climbing up all sides. The tribute
includes a reflecting pond and a
memorial wall where victims' names
are inscribed so that all who stop
pause to remember and succeeding
generations never forget. D
