The main exhibition area comprises 21,000 square feet ; a sculpture terrace on the second floor adds an additional 2,800 square feet of space. The museum, unlike major museums in nearby Miami, Florida and Palm Beach, Florida, emphasizes contemporary projects, although the collection includes works from the 19th through to the 21st century.
