A good place for art by David W. at InsiderPages

Not overwhelming or too much for anyone, this museum has a fair collection of interesting and changing exhibits. It can be seen in half a day and is reasonably priced. This area is not known as an art hotbed, but this is where you want to go if you want to see art in Orlando. This is about the best the area has to offer.

PROS: Not a bad collection

CONS: None

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.
