The museum is underwhelming for the price it charges for admission. If you are a lover of religiously-themed art, you will love it. It is only one floor of art. There are some great masters, and at the time we visited there was a very modern exhibit which was intriguing. A docent/volunteer was helpful in expanding upon what we knew about certain artists and works. Overall, a disappointment; I wouldn't bother going back.

This is a very nice museum on beautiful grounds with what appears to be a limited collection for a city the size and importance of Orlando. When we visited the majority of what was on display was on loan from other museums or collections. The photographs on display were excellent and very well displayed. The other exhibits were well laid out and easy to view. The descriptive signage was excellent. If you go, be sure and ask about any reciprocity arrangement they have with other museums that could eliminate the need for you to pay an entrance fee.

I'm sure this is a great place for weddings and business events, but its life as a museum is really unfortunate. This museum has so much potential, yet it is stagnating and clinging to outmoded, myopic museum strategies that no longer serve to contribute to progressive art and culture. Essentially, this institution is a crumbling tomb, showcasing either the dusty ghosts of donations past or the mediocre, unchallenging excuse for contemporary art that seeps out of South Florida, falling into the realm of forgettable decoration. The curators and upper management are largely unavailable, unapproachable, and entrenched in rigid professional practices that don't serve the community. Many of the permanent exhibits have not changed since the early 1990s. Essentially, this museum needs new blood, new creative brainstorming, and a makeover that not only is adapted to life post-covid, but open and welcoming to artists, curators, and visitors. This museum has become a laughing stock amongst art centers around the world due to what feels like a celebration of mediocrity and a dated awkwardness in a city without any real art critics. If you are visiting Orlando, skip this museum and focus on the performing arts, a huge strength due to the proximity to disney, etc. As for visual art in the South, go to Atlanta or New Orleans. Orlando Museum of Art- Please, for the sake of art and life in Florida, let's do better.

OK, every city doesn't have a MET or Philadelphia Art Museum (with or without Rocky!) But as I travel around the country I find art museums smaller in size but strong on quality. For me the Orlando Museum of Art was one of these. They had a thorough coverage of the Highwaymen, an informal group of self taught itinerant painters who in retrospect created colorful depictions of Florida life and scenes circa 1940 - 1960. Not only did they present a gallery of their paintings, but had a video with several of the original artists. They had several galleries on different subjects and some very engaging multimedia work. It was certainly worth our Sunday afternoon visit.

When we got here we noticed several school busses and discovered the museum was filled with a lot of teenagers who were here for an art assignment. The kids were well behaved but teenagers act like teenagers and some sections of the normally quiet, staid museum got a little chaotic at times. We didn't stay as long as we would have liked but still enjoyed the exhibitions on display. Allow about 1-2 hours. Free parking. Admission for adults is $20. No food but bottled water is available in the gift shop and there is a free drinking fountain. Not open on Mondays.

A smaller sized museum but always interesting. The permanent exhibits are nice but not too impressive. The art work changes and is the bigger draw. During this visit we saw a mix of photographs and paintings. The iconic Ansel Adams "Moonrise" photograph was a nice surprise. They also have a lot of social events.

The Orlando Fringe Festival partnered with the Orlando Museum of Art to host one of our fundraising events – Fab Fringe 2022. It was crucial for our sponsorship gathering that we have the optimal space to host a performance, serve dinner and drinks, and provide room for patrons to dance and wind down while supporting such an important cause – the Orlando Museum of Art delivered on all fronts. The SunTrust auditorium was perfect for our magician performance/mentalist show, and guests were able to interact and view the action with no obstacles. The meeting rooms were a delightful set-up for our catering menu, and guests could navigate from the tables to the bar with comfort. And, last but not least, the rotunda was the perfect party location for our DJ, additional performers, and reserved sponsor tables – everyone was free to dance and drink the night away! Orlando Fringe is incredibly pleased to have been able to work with the museum on this event, and we look forward to more collaboration in the future.

Please stay clear! Not a friendly environment for POC! Whatever you do, do not waste your time here. Like many locals will say there is an odd vibe and the museum’s exhibits are old and amateur at best. If you find yourself in the area, there’s many alternatives that are worth your support.

First time visitor. The art museum is a small regional art museum with a collection and exhibits. Compared to other small art museums in similar regional size cities, I felt the collection to be lacking in quality over quantity. There are some nice paintings though and enjoyed some of the collection, so the museum is worth a visit if you have never been there.

This was our first visit to the museum. We went to visit the museum to see the HIghwaymen exhibit. The museum did an excellent job allowing for an optimum visit during this Covid crisis. We loved the spaciousness of the museum and the informative signage. The Highwaymen art and background information is very well done.
