On our most recent trip to Miami Beach I recognized this colorful stacked up rocks. Have you heard the Seven Magic Mountains art installation in Las Vegas? It's same , except you will only see one tower. The genius man behind this beautiful art is the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone. Ugo Rondinone is an internationally-renowned artist. His works range from neon signs to paintings to eerily realistic life-sized clown figures, sitting slumped over on the floor of a gallery. All of his works mesh everyday experiences and objects with colorful, fantastical, and often-strange elements. Seven Magic Mountains in ( Las Vegas, Nevada) is one of his first forays outside of a gallery and into land art.
It is such a beautiful part of Miami Beach, where you can relax outside under the palm trees and scenic lawn park, or walk over to the beach. Located on the corner of 21st Street and Collins Avenue.
This iconic Miami Mountain is the latest series, recognizable for its brightly colored, fluorescent contrasting palates. It has been acquired by The Bass Museum . The work art, towering 42 feet tall, is permanently installed in Collins Park downtown Miami.
Across this park is the Bass it is a small museum but has decent collection of exhibits. The most popular exhibit is the different human size clowns, each and everyone has different expressions in their faces, either sitting or lying on the floor.
Thank you for stopping by, feel free to share this post and follow us for more adventures!

ReplyDeleteIt didn't scare me though it's more like amazed. How in the Earth they piled it like just like that?! HAHA.. I bet your family will appreciate this museum coz you are all very talented on (music and arts) :)
DeleteWe live a ways away from Florida so won't be visiting anytime soon. This museum looks like a place we would be interested in if we were down there.
ReplyDeleteSame here we don't live close by, but every time we visit to Florida we always have a blast!
DeleteIf we ever find ourselves in Miami we could check this out. Love the bright colors. The clowns? A little creepy lol!
ReplyDeleteCreepy looking but you will amazed at the same time. There's so much things to do in Miami not only the beach. Just take your time doing some research.
DeleteThis would be a cool museum to see. Granted, clowns do creep me out, but my daughter would like them. I would just be waiting for one to come alive and try to murder us.
ReplyDeleteHaha that is so funny! they actually pretty amazing. I can't imagine how much time and effort does the artist put in to create this interesting exhibits.
DeleteI've never heard of the Seven Magic Mountains tower. That Miami Mountain sure is colorful, I bet you could see it from a ways away.
ReplyDeleteImagine seven towers of this piled up rocks all in one place. I've heard they will close down that attraction in Vegas. I feel sad but I am glad I've seen one on this trip.
DeleteOh wow this sounds like an amazing museum, it seems like it is really different to others out there, I love art that is just a bit different.
ReplyDeleteLove that rock sculpture, I would love to make one for my backyard on a smaller scale. I will keep this museum in mind for my next trip to Miami.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of every time you hike in a mountain and people piled some rocks to get noticed that they were somehow stop by on that same trail. But this one is huge and very colorful hard to not be noticed.
DeleteThis museum looks fascinating. It kind of reminds me of the Whitney Museum in NYC. Very avant-gard.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice, I have never been to Whitney Museum I would love to check that out next time when we go to NYC.
DeleteThis looks like a great museum! Whenever we travel my family love going to local museums, it is a great way to get to to know the culture and history locally.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pretty amazing museum. I would love to visit with my family. I know they would have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there's a museum like this in Miami. It would be a nice change from the usual attractions that tourists flock to.
ReplyDeleteSo true more often we all go to Miami for the weather and the beach right? But there is so much to offer on this beautiful and popular city of Florida.
DeleteWhat a fun and colorful museum. I love the idea of the clowns. I bet that is really interesting to walk through.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I am in love with that stacked boulder art and the museum sounds so fun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband just absolutely loves art museums. This one looks totally creepy and cool with those clowns. He'd love it.
ReplyDeleteCreepy and fun tour that's for sure.
DeleteWhat a lovely museum to visit! It's one of the things that you won't think of going to when you're in Miami but it's totally worth it. There's so much to see!
