Tampa Museum of Art

The Tampa Museum of Art houses one of the finest selections of Greek and Roman antiquities in the southeastern United States. The Joseph Veach Noble Collection, purchased in 1986 from an important scholar and collector, forms the core of this collection. Known for its outstanding selection of painted Greek and south Italian pottery, Tampa's holdings survey the material culture of the Mediterranean region from the Bronze Age to the Roman Imperial period.

The museum has over 2,149 photographs representing a wide variety of photographic techniques and formats: daguerreotype, albumen, salt, photogravure, stereographic, collotype, gelatin silver, carbon and chromogenic. Particular areas of strength include nineteenth-century photographs, especially expeditionary images related to Greece and Rome, and photography created after 1970.

The Tampa Museum of Art is the proud culmination of three decades of cooperation among art organizations, private citizens, and government agencies in Tampa and Hillsborough County. The Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009. The new Tampa Museum of Art opened to the public on February 6, 2010 and has already become a sought-after venue for meetings, receptions, weddings, and corporate events. A list of prices for rental opportunities is listed on the museum website. Events and weddings are popular at the facility.
