Miami’s oldest art museum, the Lowe is an appealing, undersung mix of art, folk art, and objects that cross into the realm of archaeology and anthropology, including ancient Maya and Greek pottery, Tang dynasty ceramics, and some marvelous woodwork from Africa and Oceania. While most local art museums rely more heavily on rotating exhibitions, here more of the focus is on the impressive permanent collection, which includes a who’s who of art history both classic and recent: El Greco, Monet, Gainsborough, Goya, Lichtenstein, Tintoretto, Pepper, and Stella. In a gallery devoted to glass and ceramic art are smaller works by Chihuly and Picasso. There are, of course, temporary exhibitions, too, and top-quality ones, such as a recent one on the pop art of John Miller.
