The Permanent Collection of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art was originally built to house the collection of John Ringling’s masterpieces. Today works include paintings and sculptures by Rubens, van Dyck, Velázquez, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, El Greco, Gainsborough and more.

…following quote taken from the John and Mable Ringling Museum website. “From the Rubens Galleries to the Turrell Skyspace, view the permanent collection’s treasures, the fascinating exhibitions from around the world and the classical sculptures that fill the grand courtyard. The State Art Museum of Florida, this awe-inspiring palace was originally built by famed circus impresario John Ringling as a legacy to the citizens of Florida. This is a place of beauty and wonder.

The Museum of Art inlcudes a Center for Asian Art andthe Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt Gallery of Asian Art. The 25,000-square-foot Center includes galleries dedicated to rotating installations of The Ringling’s Asian art holdings, a 125-seat lecture hall, an object and print study room, and open storage spaces to increase public access to the collections.”
