To offer an interactive, permanent exhibition of the Frost Museum's extensive art collection to the underserved Southwest region of Miami-Dade County
The Frost Art Museum, which opened an expanded facility this year, will create an interactive kiosk to offer year-round, virtual access to its permanent collection. Visitors will be able to view the works, ranging from contemporary pieces to African wood carvings. At the same time, they will have access to catalogue information and maps. Beyond the 38,000-member university community, the kiosk will benefit Southwest Miami-Dade School children and other visitors.
