Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art at St. Petersburg College — Attraction in Florida

I had a pass from the Tarpon Springs Library to go today with my father and we had been waiting for months. The hours are listed as only being closed Monday and when we went today at 10:15 the entrance was blocked and no one answered the phone after two calls. The hours are not updated on their google page and although Hurricane Dorian is approaching there are businesses still opening and if not it’s posted and a message is left on their phones.

I have not visited this museum yet. I have read all the reviews and plan to travel though in the area in April with my granddaughter and husband. Of course we will be stopping at this wonderful sounding museum while we are there !!!!

Pieces are placed well to allow you to see the works close up and steps away. And it does not feel visually crowded. I also appreciated that they deviated from the boring "museum white" and gave certain display walls separate muted color personalities. It helped give collections a sense of unity. There are enough angled walks, bays, and nooks to the gallery to allow for a very large number of different current and impressive historic works to be seen. L-R M is between Tarpon Springs and Palm Harbor. We had the pleasure of dining in Tarpon before the opening. I recommend treating yourself to a trip "up there" to the northern side of...
