The Norton is the only serious art museum between Miami and Orlando, and a genuine surprise for a city of West Palm Beach's size. The collection has three clear strengths: Chinese ceramics and jades from the Han dynasty onward, early 20th-century American painting (O'Keeffe, Hopper, Davis), and a growing photographic and contemporary holdings including Warhol, Lichtenstein and Sherman.
The 2019 Norman Foster expansion is a building in itself worth visiting — a long glass-fronted hall under a hovering canopy and a banyan tree in the central courtyard. Allow at least two hours; longer if a major touring exhibition is in. Closed Tuesdays. The free admission on Friday evenings is popular with locals. 1451 South Olive Avenue.
