🐚 Can a $750,000 grant save this “dying” Miami mural?
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the Coconut Grove waterfront landmark estate, received the grant from the National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures grant program to conserve the ceiling mural and restore it — as much as possible — to its former glory.
Vizcaya was built by wealthy businessman James Deering from 1914 to 1922 as a winter home. The elaborate, Mediterranean-inspired property includes lush gardens, antique furniture dating back to Pompeii and a grotto, which is visible today next to the museum’s cafe.
