ART DECO WALKING TOUR – Miami Beach
On Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive in South Beach lies the largest and most fabulous collection of
art deco architecture in the world. Art Deco evolved out of a stunning archeological find in Egypt – the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Soon, a fascination for Ancient Egypt found expression in clothing, jewelry, furniture, graphic design and – of course – architecture. The designs were developed
by six Parisian architects in the 1920’s. They utilizied
the forms and angled shapes of ancient Egyptian motifs and buildings with the natural elements of the land and sea of South Florida.
