You've recently read here about the Rembrandt exhibit at the Norton Museum and the Degas prints at the Society of the Four Arts but here are some new "finds" you won't want to miss. And then there are the "tried and true"  which I just updated in case you want to check them out while you're there.  Here are my  finds, places to put on your list of things to do.

This year you’ll be happy to read about Miami Swim Week 2024 BEFORE the events so you can go (usually I’ve done a post event roundup). For this the 10th year, there are more events than ever before, with runway shows, fashion and beauty popups, a fashion industry panel discussion, and parties galore. What may surprise you is that this is the most prominent swim week in the US. Events are centered in Miami Beach at various venues. Most are open to the public, and some are free. Not only are there bathing suits and beach wear for men and women, but beauty products , accessories (lots of hats), and even beverage (coconut waters). Designers from the Seychelles, Africa and Taiwan to Brazil, France the US, UK and more are represented. And of course you can’t forget about the beautiful people watching.  Here are all the details. Be sure to get your tickets in advance  (the links provided here).  Note that the fashions are the Spring 2025 collections so will be in the shops or online late this year.
The beat doesn't stop in Miami in May. To prove it, here are four more different things to do this month, Miami Events May 2024. Check them out!
