The Museum of Sex in Miami is closing out a summer of saloon doors, aerial silks and a mechanical bull with one last ride. Dynamite by Nocturna, the venue's Wild West-themed late-night cabaret, performs its final Miami show this Saturday, September 26.
The limited-run engagement wraps up alongside its companion production, XXX by Nocturna, according to Secret Miami, which reported the closing date. As WSVN described it, the show transforms the museum into a high-energy late-night cabaret world inspired by, in the venue's words, the wild side of the wild west, folding in world-class variety acts, seductive stage work and audience games led by the host.
Tickets for the closing weekend start at $65, per WSVN's reporting. Fever's listing identifies the event and venue.
Burlesque, Acrobatics and a Mechanical Bull
The production leans hard into its saloon-and-carnival setting. WSVN's writeup adds that the show includes a 40-foot water tank and blends art, cocktails and live entertainment into a single late-night package, with performances built around aerial artistry alongside the acrobatics.
All of it plays out inside Super Funland: Journey into the Erotic Carnival, the museum's permanent installation developed with drag icon RuPaul Charles. That carnival includes 20 adult-themed games and a 40-foot-wide rococo-style mermaid tank, according to CBS News, giving Nocturna's cabaret a ready-made Wild West backdrop of carnival games and galleries the museum already operates.
Nocturna's Adult Nightlife in Miami
Dynamite is a Nocturna production at the museum.
The museum itself sits at 2200 NW 24th Ave in Miami's Allapattah neighborhood, inside a 32,000-square-foot building designed by architecture firm Snøhetta. The firm converted a former Miami Herald distribution center into the arts space, according to Snøhetta, the same studio behind the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion.
Manhattan Institution's Only Expansion
The Museum of Sex was founded in New York City in 2002 by Executive Director Daniel Gluck, and Miami marks the institution's first location outside Manhattan, per Domus. When the Miami galleries debuted, they opened with a solo presentation by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama alongside Modern Sex: 100 Years of Design and Decency, according to Wallpaper*. Sorayama's futuristic aesthetic has previously turned up in collaborations with Dior and The Weeknd.
The museum's arrival has coincided with Allapattah's emergence as a cultural hub.
Age Limits and House Rules for Late-Night Shows
Prospective attendees should note that late-night programming at the museum carries stricter entry requirements than standard daytime admission. Ticketing platform Klook notes that these events require valid government-issued ID confirming attendees are 21 or older. With Saturday marking the final Miami performance of Dynamite by Nocturna, the closing show gives ticket holders one last chance to catch the Wild West cabaret before it rides out of town.
