Small collection. Some great traveling shows, though. More

Disclaimer - I am a museum professional from another city, so when I travel I always seek out art museums! The Tampa Museum of Art is housed in a striking new building with an excellent layout and a thoughtful, well-curated selection of exhibitions. This is not an encyclopedic museum, nor is it centered primarily on the museum's permanent collection. Rather,... More

They have a fairly extensive collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan statuary and pottery which... More

I love the architecture. The exhibits we saw were a lot of fun. I would definitely go again. More

When a high school boy who lives for video games is captured by art, it says something! The work of Janet Biggs is absolutely spell binding - especially the dramatic videos on the wide screen which were shot in the Arctic -- the colors, the music, the rhythm were great. I went to the museum with my grandson on Nov.... More
