Exhibits: Flora Cohen and vintage Miami

“... the result is a series of rhyming lines and doodled beasts.”

When I saw this description of an art exhibit at the library, I knew we had to go.

The “Exquisite Bestiary” exhibit by Columbian artist Flora Cohen is a hands-on (“Please Touch!”) display of drawings developed from games she played with her young nephews.

Benjamin and Jonah loved moving around the pieces (attached at the wall with velcro).  They each found an appropriate caption of their own, which I captured on my personal blog.

We also went upstairs to see the “Stories from the Florida Vault” display which included vintage South Florida tourism and hotel brochures and steamship schedules (when Miami was marketed as a package destination with Havana and Nassau).  There were also comic books and sheet music featuring South Florida cities and landmarks.
