Visited recently for the first time. Enjoyed what little was there but the second floor was closed for installation of new exhibits so there really wasn't much to see. Very pricey $30 for 2. Kept looking around corners to see if there was anything else. I think admission should be reduced when galleries are closed. Gift shop was nice.
Lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Admission is free for veterans. Very cool elevator.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Unexpectedly great fun. This museum shows traveling exhibits, doesn't have its own collection. Shop a treasure trove of unusual items and art books, good prices. Restaurant is farm to table, good salads, sandwiches and coffee.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
What a breathtaking place, I got the chance to view an art display the day after it went on. I have been to many museums but what made this one so special was the people who works or volunteer there. Everyone was soo helpful in giving informations if I needed it, greeting you with the most pleasant smile, and just all around very friendly. I would make the three hour drive in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
My wife and I came to the Jazz Thursday event to hear Synia Carroll, an old friend perform. Not a huge fan but it was awesome to hear live music with a three piece band. Synia was great and really entertained the sold out audience. It’s a great venue, a former high school with a huge parking lot with free parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got wine from the outdoor bar. You could order food from the restaurant and they deliver right to where you are sitting. Weather was perfect. Lovely evening out.
Great space to see art from upcoming new artists. I'm glad that the people saved that building from the wrecking ball, it's stunning.
Not much to it. Just a few art exhibits and cafe. More classrooms and conference rooms than art. I personally think it's overpriced for the limited amount of galleries available. Clean and modern though. If I'm going to spend that much money I'm going to Ringling.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Wonderful space and great curation is best to describe the Sarasota Art Museum. The exhibits are primarily contemporary art. Have a docent walk you through - the education and stories are worth the extra time. Stop in at their cafe for lunch, which is open to the public and doesn't require admission to the museum - its a great place to eat in a lovely modern setting. The brick building has been revitalized from its original purpose - the old Sarasota high School and converted to light open spaces. The original pine flooring has been refinished and used on the walls and on the floors....a great juxtaposition to the level 5 drywall, sky lights and modern art. Definitely a do not miss and a fabulous addition to our city. #supportthearts
