The Ringling Museum of Art

 John and Mable Ringling enjoyed traveling throughout Europe during which time they discovered a love for Baroque Art.  In 1925 John decided to build a museum to house his art collection on the Sarasota property . Today that museum has 31 galleries to display Ringling’s massive college of paintings and sculptures.  The Museum of Art includes a courtyard which include a grouping of Classical, Renaissance and Baroque sculptures. 

It was late in the day by the time we made it to the Art Museum–actually–it was just me.  Steve decided to wait for the taxi driver while I hurried through.  As I entered the building, I was drawn toward the courtyard.
