Museum of Fine Arts
Take a museum tour and you'll understand just why we love it so much and chose to get married here. A little more about it: The MFA has the only encyclopedic collection of art from around the globe and across the centuries on Florida's west coast. The approximately 18,000 objects include striking works by Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, Morisot, Cézanne, Rodin, Hassam, Bellows, O’Keeffe, and Andrew Wyeth. The number of paintings by Monet and O'Keeffe is a rarity for a Florida museum. Also on view are ancient Greek and Roman, Egyptian, Asian, African, pre-Columbian, and Native American art. The photography collection is one of the largest and most significant in the Southeast. There are two interior gardens, one dedicated to sculpture. The Museum has a regular schedule of special exhibitions, including those that have traveled to major museums.
