Miami Design Preservation League Inc.

MDPL hosts a Spring and Fall lecture series every year with themes focused on architecture, preservation, history and more.

MDPL hosts the annual festival Art Deco Weekend. Art Deco Weekend is a free community event celebrating history, art and culture. The 40th festival will take place January 13-15, 2017

MDPL opened the Art Deco Museum in October of 2014. The Museum allows tourists and locals to better understand the architectural heritage and community culture of Miami Beach. MDPL designed the museum to be educational and informational, while reflecting the fun and glamour of Miami Beach.

MDPL is currently organizing volunteers to undertake a complete re-survey of all the structures within the Art Deco District. The results have been digitalized and is available online and in the Art Deco Museum.

MDPL in partnership with Close-Up Productions recorded the memoirs of the City of Miami Beach through the stories of people who have been a part its history. Their stories have been recorded using professional audio and visual equipment. These interviews have been combined and edited to create a museum installation. Sharing the City's heritage with all who care to learn about its past only further expands the appreciation of our unique beach community.
