The building that houses the Bass Museum of Art (2121 Park Ave., 305/673-7350, http://bassmuseum.org [1], 10 a.m.β5 p.m. Tues.βSat., 11 a.m.β5 p.m. Sun., $8 adults, $6 seniors and students, children 5 and under free) was built in the 1930s to house the Miami Beach Public Library, but despite the classic art deco atmosphere, the permanent collection at the Bass has a somewhat incongruous emphasis on old European masters from the 15th and 16th centuries.
