Established in 1986, the museum was basically set up to home the extensive collection of Micky Wolfson. The collection included the European and American art and design from 1885 to 1945. Initially Wolfson supported the museum but when he withdrew his financial support the Florida International University took it up. Besides the collection by WolfSon the museum also homes the works by the great modernists such as Marcel Duchamp, Charles Eames, Isamu Noguchi and members of the Bauhaus school. Showcasing the temporary traveling exhibits relating to the 19th and 20th centuries, the museum also promotes design from 1885-1945, reflecting the human experience. All the exhibits reflect upon the cultural, political and technological changes that the world underwent in the century preceding World War II.
