Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando

Located in Loch Haven Park and established in 1924, the Orlando Museum of Art features work from artists around the world. William Michael Harnett, Suzanne McClelland, Georgia O’Keefe, and John Singer Sargent are just a few whose works you will enjoy when you visit.

The museum strives to promote and educate the public about visual art. Educational programs for adults and children include tours and lectures. Accredited courses allow participants to learn about art at an intimate level. In-service programs are also offered to teachers.

One of the most stunning elements is the Cobalt and Citron Tower glass display made by artist Dale Chihuly. The museum has 12 onsite and 13 offsite exhibits. After-work parties occur each Thursday. Another event to not miss is the annual Festival of Trees. The event features designer trees and vignettes each December. It is said that over 20,000 people enjoy the festival each year. In addition, the Antiques Vintage and Garden Show held every February allows patrons to purchase antique furniture, paintings, jewelry, oriental rugs, and so much more.

The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday through Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm. They are closed on Monday and during major United States holidays. Facility rental services are also available for groups as small as 50 or as large as 1,000.
