Tampa Museum of Art

The new Tampa Museum of Art is located in downtown Tampa's Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. Its spectacular 66,000-square-foot Cornelia Corbett Center building was designed by San Francisco architect Stanley Saitowitz, the building and features a shimmering pierced aluminum exterior, and state-of-the-art gallery spaces with innovative translucent ceilings and polished concrete floors. Seven expansive interior galleries, one exterior sculpture gallery, 12,000 sq. feet of LED coverage on the south facade, and educational classrooms equipped with the latest technology offers visitors a wide variety of visual art experiences.

The museum provides the region with world-class traveling exhibitions, a growing collection of contemporary and classical art, expanded educational programs and access to scenic outdoor events along Tampa's Riverwalk. The museum will become a nationally recognized major arts destination and premier venue for residents and visitors.
