A broad encyclopedic collection housed in a Mediterranean Revival building on Beach Drive, with works spanning American, European, Asian, and pre-Columbian art. The European holdings include Dutch and Flemish masters, French Impressionist paintings, and a respectable spread of decorative arts. The American galleries cover the 18th through 20th centuries. The museum also holds a significant photography collection that is regularly featured in temporary exhibitions.
The location on Beach Drive is convenient — you can pair a visit here with a walk along the waterfront and lunch at one of the nearby cafes.
