This exhibition of more than 50 American paintings, sculptures and fine art prints from the 1920s to the 1940s is drawn from The Wolfsonian's collection. It explores how artists manifested in their work the most profound and the most mundane aspects of American life. While the artworks provide personal records of the nation, they also express collectively held attitudes about the landscape, the built environment, domestic life, work, and leisure.

The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to see the strides MAM has made in building a "Miami point of view" of developments in modern and contemporary art, while preparing for the collection's permanent installation at Museum Park. Between Here and There focuses on the cultures of the Atlantic Rim - the Americas, Europe and Africa-from which the vast majority of Miami residents hail. Included within this broader framework will be the work of a number of artists residing in South Florida, many of whom are paradigms of this intercultural dialogue.
