What to see at the Wynwood Walls

The outdoor murals, more than 40 in total, rotate over time as new artists are invited to paint, with past contributors including Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf.

12 large-scale sculptures are set throughout the grounds, adding a three-dimensional layer to the outdoor collection.

Three indoor spaces — the Peter Tunney Experience, the GGA Gallery, and a rotating Artist Solo Exhibition — extend the museum beyond its outdoor walls.

A vintage subway cart exhibit sits among the murals, repurposed as one more canvas for the museum’s artists.

The Official Street Art Experience lets visitors try spray-painting techniques themselves on a permanent practice wall, guided by a local artist.
