We Met at The Bass
See local history projected onto the walls of Miami Beach buildings and make new connections during this immersive walking tour and mixer at The Bass Museum of Art on Thursday, Jan. 15. Local historian Malcolm Lauredo will help us imagine what Miami Beach looked like a million years ago during a private tour just for We Met in Miami attendees during The Bass’ free Third Thursday event. Take a deep dive into local geological and cultural history with a tour route around The Bass block featuring wall projections that promise to bring historical findings to life. Concluding back inside the museum, guests are invited to explore the pop-up research tent of treasured articles, photographs, artifacts and more.
