Art Museums and Galleries in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach is one of the beautiful cities in Florida that is frequently included in vacation fantasies for people across the nation. It is a city with a pleasant atmosphere and incredible views, which makes it a favorite for almost everyone. In addition to the great beaches and all the water sport fun that can be and is had throughout the year there are numerous cultural attractions that appeal to the finer artistic tastes of tourists and residents alike. The city is full of museums and gallery spaces where all genres of art can be found and appreciated.

Guests in a West Palm Beach luxury hotel are usually eager to start their day and enjoy some quality time on the beach before heading off to a museum or do some shopping, have a wonderful lunch at a patio cafe or any number of other options. And if museums are on the agenda, there are plenty to choose from. The Art of Helga King is a special collection that is viewed by appointment only. A great deal of the artist’s work is based on her life experiences in a concentration camp during the holocaust. Her work is as important historically as it is impressive artistically.

The Norton Museum of Art is one of the city’s outstanding museums and contains a permanent collection of over five thousand pieces. It is well known for its collection of masterpieces from the 19th and 20th centuries and the museum features the works of great artists such as Georgia O’Keefe, Jackson Pollock , Pablo Picasso and many others. The Amory Art Center is located in a 1939 building that was designed in the art deco style, which is extremely attractive and suited for the exhibits it contains. In addition to the various exhibits there are numerous studio classes and workshops that keep the center engaged with the public.
