MUSEUM EXHIBIT
Ocean Drive To Marine Drive: Mapping a Century of Deco | Miami Beach-Mumbai (1925-2025) – celebrates Miami and Mumbai’s unique cultural and visual kindredness in the year that marks a century of The Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes; the 1925 Paris design show that gave the movement its name and identity. Relying on a rich mix of academic research, multimedia, archival photographs, oral history narratives, and an exclusive display of rare Deco artefacts and furniture handpicked from private collections, Ocean Drive to Marine Drive hopes to make connections between material objects, spaces, urban heritage and social history by spotlighting the pioneering Deco practices across the ‘City of Dreams’ and the ‘Billion-Dollar Sandbar’.
The exhibition is conceptualised by Art Deco Alive! in collaboration with Curator Atul Kumar, and Knowledge Partners Art Deco Mumbai Trust and Miami Design Preservation League.
