Norton Museum of Art

"Wow— this is a well rounded collection of permanent paintings and sculptures of many different artists, genres and time periods. You could spend 3-4 hours here at minimum, more if you enjoyed a meal at the outdoor cafe. We also enjoyed the sculpture garden, where greenery compliments the sculptures. We also visited the Impressionist exhibit of some fairly rare and unseen paintings. I found the works unusual and colorful, ranging from interesting portraits to abstract but colorful landscapes. The gift shop has a nice selection of jewelry and colorful and unique tchotchkes. The only snag is the parking across the street. The parking lot has plenty of spaces, but the payment kiosk didn’t function properly. When I told the front desk they said not to worry about it. Overall this is a must see museum for art lovers— would make a great date!"

"The main art museum of West Palm Beach the Norton has an eclectic selection of modern contemporary art, impressionist and classical pieces. The building is modern in style with all whitewashed walls, spacious rooms and a lot of natural light in the right locations. The displayed art per room is uniform (e.g: a room will only have contemporary art) but you can easily drift from one room to another completely changing styles. This is not a complaint, just an observation. While there are three floors, the main floor holds the largest collection (including Picasso, Monet and Cezanne to name a few), while the second floor has an extensive collection of Chinese artefacts as well as some classic European paintings. There is a decent store (but we didn’t find anything overwhelmingly interesting) and a café (which we did not visit). Regardless of the style of art you like, the collection here is worth a visit. It takes about 1 ½ to 2 hours to tour the museum. Parking is available in a designated lot across the street for a fee of $5. Payment is by credit card only and based on your license plate. Enjoy!"

"Awesome museum- love the combination of classical art with modern pieces. The restaurant was great to grab a snack and eat outside by the fountain. So many amazing pieces. I would plan to spend about about 2-3 hours here."

"This is one of the coolest museums I’ve been to in Florida. My friends live in West Palm Beach and had never visited this museum so since I was here for the weekend and we are all suckers for art and a good museum we decided to swing by. The $18 admission was a steal considering how much we enjoyed walking this joint. They have some serious art in there from some of the best artists to have ever walked this earth as well as some fun pieces that are eye catching. May not look big from the outside but there are 3 floors of incredible art. This is a nice fun activity if you’re visiting West Palm and it’s also close to a lot of restaurants."
