Established in 1920, the Tampa Museum of Art stands as a beacon of culture and education in the heart of downtown Tampa. Celebrating over a century of artistic excellence, the Museum provides a welcoming space where everyone can connect through creativity, explore new perspectives, and find inspiration in exhibitions that range from ancient treasures to contemporary expressions. It proudly houses one of the most significant collections of Greek and Roman antiquities in the southeastern United States, as well as a vivid collection of modern and contemporary art encompassing sculpture, photography, painting, textiles, and new media.
The Museum’s commitment to education and community engagement shines through its Vinik Family Education Center. Art educators offer a variety of year-round art classes, insightful lectures, and engaging tours for all ages, fostering artistic discovery and learning. Through innovative outreach programs, the Museum extends its reach with art-therapy-informed initiatives and creative platforms for everyone.
The Centennial Campaign for Renovation and Expansion, launched in 2020, fuels an ambitious vision to expand the Museum’s exhibition and educational footprint. After a transformational renovation of the existing facility in 2023, the Museum expects to break ground on an expansion in fall 2025, which will more than double the building’s size. This reimagining will enable the Tampa Museum of Art to better serve future generations through expanded galleries, state-of-the-art learning spaces, and immersive artistic experiences.
