"Stanley Saitowitz designed this innovative modernist building. The perforated metal jewel box containing the galleries is balanced above a clear-glass pedestal. The centerpiece in the soaring Morsani Atrium is a statement in “upcycling.” German artist Wolfgang Flad shredded art-texts (magazines, books, catalogs) to create a floating papier-mâché sculpture that reconnects the character of the fibers with the organic shapes of trees and branches."
"The Tampa Museum of Art is a boldly designed riverfront museum housing six temporary exhibits and an extensive permanent collection of Greek and Roman antiquities and 20th-century sculpture. After browsing the galleries, visitors can wander through the serene riverfront sculpture garden before indulging in cool, creamy gelato at Sono Cafe. Check out their beautiful museum shop where you can find unique gifts and souvenirs of your visit."
"The massive 66,000-square-foot museum features modern and contemporary art as well as an extensive collection of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities. One side of the museum's exterior is covered in 14,000 LEDs, making the building itself a work of art."
"The Cube is one of the top buildings in Florida when it comes to architecture, so visiting FMoPA will be enlightening inside and outside.

There are also a collection of iconic photos of Woodstock from 1969 and images from the time that they were building the Panama Canal."
