The museum is located in a large new building that naturally integrates old Art Deco part and has a reasonably diverse collection. As the information on the walls tell, Norton, the founder of the museum was interested in 20-century art, so this part was probably best represented and most interesting. The coverage of American art of late 19 - early 20 century is quite good making this collection a centerpiece. A number of traditional American impressionists (from Cassatt to the Ten) are represented by a few paintings by Hassam, Tarbell, Chase, and a few contemporaries like Tanner and Graves. Post-impressionists (the Eight or Ashcan school) are presented unusually well being apparently the focus of Norton. There are several representative paintings by Henry, Shinn, Bellows, Sloan, Luks, Lawson. After that there are scattered American pieces with several big names represented (i.e., Hopper, Kent, Rockwell). The same pattern on a smaller scale is followed by European late 19 - early 20 century art with just a few classic impressionists like Monet and Pisarro and a much better representation of post-impressionism and following -isms with a number of big names. As an extra benefit, for 2 years the museum is hosting a large and well-known painting of Spanish impressionist Joaquin Sorolla "Beaching the boat". As usual, a lot of space is occupied by a variety of modern art of mixed quality, but with several big names. Among earlier art, the museum has a very large and impressive collection of 16-18 century art, mostly Dutch golden age, but many others including some French Salon from Greuze to Fromentin and Courbet. This great collection that could make happy several museums, for some reason is hidden on the 3rd floor and not well advertised. Going further back in time, the museum has an amazingly large collection of ancient Chinese artifacts, probably the largest in Florida. Overall, very impressive museum, worth driving if you are considering it. I would rate it as one of the top 5 art museums in Florida,
