museum of fine arts

I liked how the floral designers were next to their work explaining their Art In Bloom. Special exhibit was very nice too.

A fine museum, the docent a must, the 3-4 original Monets were favorites but there are a lot of other great pieces of art and fine art. The downtown St Pete area, Park and Marina and Restaurants surrounding the museum, make this visit well worth your time and effort.

Interview hours here doing all of the beautiful card from all of the world with my aunt and uncle that were visiting from the cold weather up north New York. It was a delightful afternoon. Don't miss this find collection when visiting St. Petersburg

This beautiful museum in the heart of St Petersburg is a "Must See" whenever we're in town. The journey walking through the exhibits (some permanent, and some new) is worthwhile.We were lucky, the entrance fee was at a discount on the night that we went.

This charming museum, in waterfront downtown St Pete, is a gem. It has a little of everything in the permanent collection as well as a new wing that has changing exhibitions that are very interesting. If you visit, spend some time in the courtyards, which are very charming. For lunch you have lots of good choices just across the street along Beach Drive, including my favorite lunch spot, Moon Under Water, which has great fish and chips and curries and burgers in an English Pub atmosphere.

For $15 (senior) you can view some of the finest art and antiquities anywhere. From Pre-Columbian pottery to modern day abstract art. Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso to name a few along with lesser known but equally accomplished artists and old masters. A must see for sure. Café on sight, but we opted for one of the sidewalk eateries across the street, one of which I shall review.

The St. Pete Museum of Fine Arts has a very impressive art collection! This museum was way bigger and more comprehensive than I guessed when friends wanted to visit. It was definitely a "wow"!

My husband and I enjoyed the Museum of Fine art because of the diversity of the exhibits. There is also a lovely outdoor sculpture garden too! The museum was just the right size for us, not huge and overwhelming. An added bonus for us (being from Oklahoma) is that it's close to the Waterfront. If you want to save money on admission go on Thursday after 5 or look for coupons in the Florida guides.

A gem of a museum- not overwhelming but with a host of varied collections. Very friendly staff. My favorite spot was the enclosed outdoor garden- a great place just to sit - usually I was the only one there which made it extra special. A very good place to visit .

The museum has a mixed permanent collection that includes a wide range of styles and eras, housed in a beautiful building. We went to see a traveling exhibition on the impressionists, which was interesting and well curated. Worth a look for art lovers visiting the area. We visited the museum on a Thursday, when they have extended evening hours, arriving a little after 4:30. The staff person at the desk was nice enough to tell us that if we waited until 5 to enter, the price is reduced to $5 rather than the regular admission of $17. We had time to spare so we took a short walk and then returned.

Located right at the waterfront and not too far from the Dali Mueum, it is a nice place to visit when spending time in St Pete. Themuseum phas in addition to the permanent collection an exhibit of impressionist painters, a nice bonus. The permanent collection is an eclectic mix of art from around the world. It is not a large place, won't take long to go through. The admission is quite high considering the size of the place. It is $5 on Thursday after five.

The traveling exhibit and permanent collection are top notch.Architecture of the building is worth a visit by itself. Small restaurant on site. Gift shop needs knowledgeable staff.

Go visit this lovely museum anytime. But for me save it for when include the flower show.. Floral designers and Garden club members select art works and sculptures an design floral pieces that interpret the art. Great day.

The Fine Arts Museum is truly a first class facility with continuously changing visiting exhibits for all tastes. Special events and free days make it very user friendly.

This Museum was quite enjoyable. Like most Museums of Fine Art, there was an impressive selection of art and sculpture.
