"The College of Central Florida’s Appleton Museum of Art is an unlikely gem in Ocala, with a modern building housing a massive collection. Is it the Met ? No, but the Appleton is large, and the extreme diversity in its collections is more commonly seen in larger cities. The European collection houses 17th- and 18th-century Dutch paintings; robust collections of Asian, African, and pre-Columbian art are on full display as well." - Terry Ward, Laura Ratliff
