1 August 2026 Sarasota: The Ringling Museums Part 2

 


The next section on the grounds was the Art Museum.  The contents were many of the "objects de arte" that they had purchased on their European excursions.  The items on display were wide ranging like they were bought at a series of high end flee markets.  The real masterpiece was the building and grounds.  Very well done and as Maggie said, imagine this at dusk, filled with tables and chairs at a swanky charity event.
