What started as a rejected group from the King Orange Bowl Parade
has grown into the wackiest event in South Florida. The King Mango
Strut is the most fun event Miami has to offer, full of irreverent,
creative and wacky people and lots of opportunity to make fun of
everything and anything. The parade route begins at the corner of
Commodore Plaza, and Main Highway. It turns left onto Main Highway,
left onto Grand Ave, and then back around Commodore Plaza. After the
strut, stick around for entertainment and bands playing all over the
Grove to ring in the New Year! 2p

An exemplary showing of his masterful technique is seen through the subject matter including nudes, biblical subjects, Greek mythological studies, and everyday life subjects. The 3 Rembrandt etchings are now on display in the museum’s permanent collection.
