Society of the Four Arts

Fodor's Review:

Despite widespread misconceptions of members-only exclusivity, this privately endowed institution—founded in 1936 to encourage appreciation of art, music, drama, and literature—is funded for public enjoyment. A gallery building—designed by Addison Mizner, of course—artfully melds an exhibition hall, library, and the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden, which underwent a major renovation in 2006. Open from about Thanksgiving to Easter, the museum's programs are extensive, and there's ample free parking. The museum often presents free movie screenings in the auditorium on weekends.

  • Cost: $5
  • Open: Galleries Nov.-mid-Apr., Mon.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. 2-5. Library and gardens Nov.-May, weekdays 10-5, Sat. 10-1
