Art is alive and well in Florida and Florida art museums are a major reason why. No longer the stuffy mausoleums of the past, they are an interactive awakening of the senses. From the days our earliest ancestors began telling their story on canvas of stone, art has been used to express the human experience and that venture continues in Florida art museums today. Florida's art museums are an interactive playground for both young and old breaking the chains that bind the imagination providing a window into the mind and spirit. Art is also a means of communication and Florida art museums provide that connection with both the creative minds of the past as well as the child just learning to draw. As the recent PBS special featuring the gifted young opera sensation, Jackie Evancho
proves, no place brings art in all its many forms together more beautifully than a museum and whether as grand and awe inspiring as the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, or just a humble neighborhood affair housing a few kindergarten masterpieces, its being in a place designed to turn us inside out allowing us to see the world in a way we never have before that makes them unique. That's what art has always done and is what Florida art museums are all about.A List of Art Museums in Florida
