Boot Camp in Paradise: WWII in Miami Beach Exhibit

Saturday, January 18th @ 10:00 am - 8:00 pm

The City of Miami Beach is launching a new outdoor exhibition entitled “Boot Camp in Paradise.” The exhibit will highlight the period from 1942 to 1945 when Miami Beach transformed from a tourist haven to a military training hub for the U.S. Army Air Forces. The City collaborated with the Wolfsonian-FIU on the project.

The installation is being called “Galería Ocean Drive,” and it has been produced by the Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner’s office staff, including Senior Policy Advisor – and historian – Daniel Sommer, as well as Djordje Milekic, Senior Branding Manager. The City of Miami Beach Commission recently funded $50,000 for the production of the exhibit, which will be on view through Jan 2025.
