I visited Wynwood Walls, a warehouse district located in the area next to Downtown Miami.

It used to be a dangerous warehouse district, but it was transformed into a street art district around 2009. Since it was originally a warehouse district, the walls were white, and street artists began to paint colorful murals on them.

Jeffrey Deitch, former director of MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles), has created a facility in the city that specializes in street art. It is like a museum isolated from the street, charging an admission fee, and exhibiting several artists. Several artists can be seen painting live on the exterior walls.

There are still some works by artists who are now well-known.

Some of the more famous artists’ works are still there. You should go there too!
