Museum of Fine Arts
Museum of Fine Arts Review
One of the city's cornerstones, this museum is a gorgeous Mediterranean-revival structure that houses outstanding collections of European, American, pre-Columbian, and Asian art. Major works here by American artists range from Hassam to O'Keeffe to Bellows and Lichtenstein, but the museum is known for its collection of French artists, including Fragonard, Cézanne, Monet, Rodin, Gauguin, and Renoir. There are also photography exhibits that draw from a permanent collection of more than 14,000 works. The recent Hazel Hough Wing more than doubled the museum's exhibit space. A new café offers visitors a lunch respite and a beautiful view of the bay. Docents give narrated gallery tours.

The permanent collection is modest sized and has a few nuggets of interest, but is not a must-see. It's more worthwhile if they have a good temporary exhibit. A bit pricey for what you get.

A friend & I are thinking of taking our annual spring break to Sarasoga and Siesta Key.
Can you recommend this or would you recommend somewhere else that might have a tropical island feel?
Thanks Read more
