Weekday afternoons (Tuesday through Thursday between 2 PM and 4 PM) tend to be the least crowded, based on popular times data. Sundays are consistently busy in the early-to-mid afternoon. As an indoor, air-conditioned venue, WEAM is an excellent rainy day or summer heat escape and is enjoyable year-round. Evening visits on Friday and Saturday nights, when the museum stays open until midnight, offer a lively South Beach atmosphere.
