Hidden Secret

It was wonderful to visit the Orlando Museum of Art and have the galleries to myself. I am surprised that more residents and visitors haven't realized that this gem of a museum is a great escape on a lunch hour or a for half a day.

• Pros: Size, Ambiance
• Cons: Parking

Home of often-mesmerizing traveling exhibits, adventurous nighttime activities and intriguing modern art.

The Scene
This spacious museum features stunning Roman architecture and a breathtaking center atrium with skylight. Windows offer wonderful views of Loch Haven Park, which surrounds the property. The museum's main gallery hosts many traveling exhibits, including works from Russia, China and Central America. These exhibits can often take days to fully examine, enlightening viewers to ancient and present civilizations and cultures.

The Collection
The museum houses art, sculpture and photography. Much of the collection emphasizes modern pieces, many of which come from New York. Some works dazzle with traditional beauty, while others boggle the mind with bold statements.
