"Art reflects the soul of the community"
The above quote is on the outside of the Naples Museum of Art [as seen in the photograph], and it is a quote that I believe.
The Naples Museum of Art is located right next to the Philharmonic Center For The Arts. It is open from October 1 until June on Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and on Sundays from noon until 4 p.m.
It is closed July-September 2009.
There are free docent-guided tours Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m during October through May.
While we were there in January, one of my favorite artists was the famed NORMAN ROCKWELL. What a treat to see original tear sheets featuring each of Rockwell's 321 Saturday Evening Post covers as well as 15 original Rockwell oil paintings.
The art museum has a lovely garden cafe, a museum store, and free parking.
