The Bass Museum, Miami
The historic 1930s building is by noted Miami Beach architect Russell Pancoast, grandson of city founder John Collins. The building originally served as a public library. The original building’s keystone exterior has been preserved, down to the protruding seagulls on a tower-like corner. The building was expanded by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.
