Localizado en un edificio Art Deco del distrito de Miami Beach, Florida en la Avenida Washington 1001 y afiliado al Museo Wolfsoniana de Liguria en Nervi.

El Wolfsonian fue fundado por el coleccionista y filántropo de Miami Beach, Mitchell Wolfson, Jr. en 1986 para exhibición y preservación de su vasta colección personal.[1] En 1997 donó la colección y el edificio de tres plantas a la Florida International University.[1]

De particular valor son los materiales sobre American Industrial Design -obras de Donald Deskey, Walter Dorwin Teague, Kem Weber, John Vassos- el British Arts and Crafts Movement - obras de C.R. Ashbee, Christopher Dresser, Ernest Gimson, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, William Morris, M.H. Baillie Scott y otras escuelas y tendencias como el Art Nouveau, Darmstadt, Vereinigte Werkstätten, Deutscher Werkbund.
