This is a great museum You’ll find works by Chagall to Warhol to Haring and everything in between. I could spend the whole day wandering the halls enjoying the exhibits and art. The outdoor sculpture garden is not to be missed. The variety of art is impressive and the building is stunning. My kids really enjoy the children’s art room every time we go, but they notice new things and pieces with every trip.

We shot a wedding ceremony at The Norton Museum of Art. It is a dream venue for wedding photography. Its modern architecture, grand atrium, and sculpture garden offer elegant backdrops for timeless shots. The diverse settings—chic galleries and lush outdoor spaces—cater to every couple’s vision. The staff is accommodating, and the artistic atmosphere inspires creativity. A 10/10 choice for couples and photographers seeking a unique, culturally rich experience.

When following gps, please note that the museum parking is across the street. Be prepared to make a quick left turn. The museum and gardens are a great way to spend an afternoon. Even the teens will enjoy it. Right now there is s boxing art exhibition that was unexpectedly intriguing.

Art After Dark - a lovely experience. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the evening feeling cutesy and indulging in beautiful art. We went for the Lunar New Year celebration, which was super special because we got to see fireworks. Didn’t get to check out the restaurant but it looked quite lively.

The museum is beautiful and, despite some ridiculous "art" on display, there were some beautiful pieces to admire in their collection aside from the amazing works in the current Sorolla exhibit. I would also like to note that the lighting is awful & most artwork was hard to view without a glare. Perhaps adjust the lighting so that it doesn’t cause a glare on the paintings & people wont have to get so close too see details. I heard several people get their attention called by security for standing "too close" and people complaining about the light bouncing off the paintings. 2.5 hours should be enough to see everything and there is plenty of seating to take rests.

The Norton Museum is a fantastic place for families! They always have engaging events for kids, making art and culture fun and accessible for all ages. The interactive activities, workshops, and exhibits keep children entertained while also being educational. It’s a great spot for a family outing, and we always have a wonderful experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for kid-friendly events in the area!

What activity might you consider on a rainy day in West Palm Beach? Well…a museum may be a great option. There are a variety of options. So glad we went to the Norton Museum! They have a variety of displays (as you’ll see from the pics) and are regularly being in and changing exhibits to provide a “fresh look” at art in the world.

This art museum has as many important works as many much bigger and pestigeous ones. From Matisse to Chagall to cassat I loved it. Money and art are no object as both are soon to be part of a gala and auction. The building is spectacular and the gardens sublime . Worth every penny to enter, this is a museum not to be missed in Palm beach Florida.

We made the trek last Sunday to the Norton for a visit on my birthday. I'd been there several times before and was looking forward to seeing some favorites. The American collection is still so delightful. I think in the new building not as much of the Chinese collection is on display. And, the new setting for the Chihuli ceiling takes away its spectacularness. We all enjoyed our execeptional art afternoon. Don't miss the outside sculptor garden and if you have time go around the corner to Cranesnest Way. Some of the small houses on this street are used for artist's residencies. Look at the sidewalk and the Women's Walk, large cast-stone pavers inscribed with names of female artists line one side of the street.

Preparation: Wear comfortable shoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Norton, taking in a variety of impressive artwork. The venue is sleek, modern, and clean. Please note, there is an admission fee, which you can find detailed in one of the pictures I posted. The museum spans three levels, and security is present on each floor, ensuring that visitors maintain a respectful distance from the artwork and do not touch the pieces. They are friendly. Overall, I appreciated the artists' incredible work.

First time visiting the Norton and can't believe I've never visited sooner. Its a very large museum hosting various community programing and events. I went for one of their weekly art after dark nights and had a great time. We did so much and I probably didn't get to see a third of the museums works on display so I look forward to coming back.

Love visiting the Norton Museum of Art, especially when admission is free on Saturdays for Palm Beach County residents in June, July, and August. There are so many pieces of art on display from many centuries past as well as contemporary works as well. One visit is not enough to take it all in! Besides the exhibits, the Norton also provides lectures, films, Friday evening 'Art After Dark,' and children's programs as well as a restaurant. I'll be back!

We had a wonderful time on this overcast day. This was our first time to the Norton. It isn't huge but there was a good selection and variety of art displays which included Monet, Picasso and Rodin. Many displays of modernism, abstract and they had a nice photography exhibition.The Chihuly glass ceiling was very pretty as were the outdoor grounds. We took a walk outside to take a look at all the sculptures and lovely landscape. The restaurant looked good , we will try it next time.

The museum is very clean and well maintained. The pieces were mindfully displayed, and well. It is manned by staff who take their jobs very seriously, we're thankful for this as it protects the artwork. The museum does a great job of displaying many styles of artwork. I do wish there was more surrealism and modern art as I prefer this to traditional and historical artworks-but this is down to personal preference. There's a small children's room upstairs, but very bear and it would be nice to see more activities and art centered ways for children to express their energy. The room did not feel well thought out and a few things and activities have put in there as an after thought. The museum restaurant has a menu which revolves around the items on display, so this changes throughout the year. The review today is based on that menu . I had a neffariti chicken Shawarma sandwich which was perfectly spiced. Others at my table had the chicken breast with a risotto and the rock shrimp pasta, please put the dishes were OK, but we're not overly in fast. The drinks and desserts were overly sweet. And there's also a wonderful wine list . However, we were all impressed and very grateful for the wonderful attentive service which we received today. It was a nice day out, and lovely way to experience some culture in Palm Beach County.

It seems "Art After Dark" Fridays is a weekly event at the Norton. The fountain at entrance is amazing. I am guessing it is not deep and it gives the illusion of a Pool (swimming pool) evoking what, I believe, is known as an infinity pool. But I looked it up and this "fountain" out front is actually a "reflecting pool." The Norton's "reflecting pool" is intriguing and well-placed. The sculptures, including Alexander Caulder, were amazing. Saw jewelry- 1 piece- by Yoko Ono. I saw some "pop art" I immediately thought "looked like" a Roy Lichtenstein work and a second later I noticed it was a real Roy Lichtenstein. And next to it a real Andy Warhol. All the big names. Picture an expensive museum. The idea behind this exhibit including jewelry is the viewer views the jewels up close while viewing large wall art from a distance. It worked for me. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Ming Dynasty display. The room is almost all dark but as I approached each glass encased display case, a light would turn on. Amazing Ming Dynasty display! The permanent collections may be found on the second and third floors. I don't live in WPB but came as part of a guild group. The other guild member, a kid compared to me, kept trying to get rid of me so I let her have her way and jumped in an Uber. I tried speaking to the officer stationed at the 1st floor foyer but he would not answer me in any way as I was speaking to him. Unfriendly. Overall, I came out of the experience with a more positive than negative feeling but I probably will not try another "Art After Dark" Fridays as it is too crowded.

This museum was one of the first places I visited when I moved to West Palm Beach, and it left a great impression! I've always loved supporting the arts in my community, so I was excited to check it out--especially since admission was free for Palm Beach residents when I went. I'm not sure if that's a year-round perk, but it's definitely worth looking into. The museum was bigger than I expected, with fascinating exhibitions that showcased both well-known and community-driven projects. It's clear they actively engage with the local community, which I really appreciate. I also learned about Art After Dark, an event I definitely want to experience soon! Beyond the exhibits, the building itself is beautiful, making it a great place to explore--especially on a hot weekend

This has quickly become one of my favorite museums and I've been to a lot of them! 20$ for two people on a Friday night, a perfect date ! They were open until 10pm which was so amazing. This museum is so well rounded in its collection that, as an artist and art lover, you're so happy in the end. My only negative thing is that I wished the collection was bigger so I could stay longer admiring all of the details ! From Degas to Rodin to Robert Henri to an exceptional Eastern Zhou Dynasty collection. The contemporary also has plenty of rooms in its own! There was a particular piece of a gentleman standing that absolutely creeped me out but maybe you'll love. Most people oversaw it thinking it wasn't a room. I've attached photos on here. The museum itself is very deceiving from the outside. You don't expect it to be as big as it is in the inside so right off the bat you're in for a wild artistic time ! The collection features American, Chinese, Contemporary, European and Photography from some of the greatest names in art and it doesn't disappoint. The museum also has rooms for kiddos and programs for the kiddos

Beautiful art, but a little pricey for what it is. We came for the jazz, but unfortunately it wasn't totally clear from the website so they didn't have any music when we went. Will try again sometime if we can!

Love the Norton, loved that they had free admission on Saturday for PBC residents all summer. I had trouble finding my favorite part- the Chihuly glass ceiling, but after asking an employee found it behind the bathrooms, oddly enough. My kids laid down on their backs on the bench to study it at length, and this experience alone was enough of a visit to enjoy. However, we had actually gone to attend our first Family Art Studio workshop, which included a 'family tour' beforehand. This studio is for ages 5-12. The 'tour' was actually only sitting in front of one painting while a Norton person asked questions of the children, which didn't seem particular geared towards children at all. The children fidgeted. It was not inspiring. We didn't look at anything else. I was disappointed, as this isn't really what a 'tour' is- and the theme was supposed to be pendants, gender-inclusive, and this painting was of a woman with a very small detail of a necklace. The Norton actually has real pendants on display throughout the museum, but we didn't look at any of these as part of the 'tour.' The workshop was equally disappointing. The artist teacher, who was very friendly and nice, told a story about that same painting involving selling a painting by the artist, and I didn't understand why she told that story. for 5 year olds, this is not inspiring. For me, this was not inspiring either as a reason for an entire workshop based on it. Then, the art teacher told us what to do and proceeded to chat with the other Norton volunteers or employees about their personal lives for the duration, while occasionally circling around to ask kids if they needed any help. This is not a helpful way to interact with children. My kids did need help, but they were not going to ask for it. The neighboring parents gave my kids tons of engagement and ideas and help, and were a great example of what the teacher could have been doing, instead of chatting with the other volunteers. Additionally, the materials were not really for 5-12 year olds. Pipe cleaners and paper to make bracelets or necklaces, for a museum like the Norton, was very confusing. There could have been so many incredible ways for this workshop to engage and be more creative - and actually use real materials or make their own pendants. This isn't a cost thing, as there are a ton of natural and reusable materials available to make pendants and jewelry with. I was highly disappointed with this workshop in multiple ways, and I hope this feedback can help improve their program in the future.

Visited the Norton on Friday night for Jazz night. I enjoyed walking the exhibitions that changed some. The Jazz band they used did primarily Brazilian music, so, I did not feel connected. But it is nice to attend the various events. Admission was $10 refuced for Wpbch residents, parking was free.

We did not expect to find a museum of this caliber in West Palm Beach. But, wow, they did impress. The experience began with what became the gem of the day. As we entered the museum, we were greeted by the docent. This gentleman, originally from the Upper East Side of New York, explained the museum and told us what we shouldn't miss. He was generally wonderful to listen to. More so, my mother, who was in a wheelchair--he was wonderful to her. That set the tone for what was to come. It was amazing that so much high-quality art was collected by one person. We got to see their special exhibit on impressionists, which was fabulous. We spent a couple of hours walking through exhibits on the first floor, gawking at many of their pieces. After that much time, my mother was tired. That was when we realized there were more floors above us. So, we only made it through part of the museum. There was so much to see on the first floor, it was well worth the visit. But I wonder what was above us. This was a great experience. We were only visiting from out of state. We do plan to return. When we do, we plan to finish the museum.

Amazing Art museum. This has to be one of the best in South Florida for sure! Permanent collection includes art from Picasso, Cezanne, Monet and others. I've seen some amazing "visiting" exhibits too like the recent Rose B. Simpson: Journeys of Clay. The restaurant is very good too.

A first class experience all the way. People, art, spaces and a true gem in the area with its own parking area. We absolutely recommend the restaurant. It has foodie items that are creative and some even named after the art within the museum. There is seating indoors and outdoors with terrific service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Norton is a part of the Bank of America free museum weekend, a great time to check out this museum. They also have various free museum days like this past Lunar New Year celebration. The parking lot across the street can fill up so depending on which busy day you go it's luck of the draw.

I'm a NYC art snob, having grown up in the great collection of Manhattan museum venues. I'm underwhelmed by Miami's museums, but Palm Beach offers a solution. The Norton has a fantastic collection, expanded by gifts and loans from Ken Griffin's vast accumulation of blue chip art acquisitions. The curatorial staff has created or obtained rights to exceptional exhibitions that rival the Met, MoMA, Guggenheim, and Whitney, including Joseph Stella and photographic surveys. Building features include a Dale Chihuly tunnel, and an Oldenburg Typewriter Eraser at the entry. Easy parking across the street. On-site restaurant is very good. It may not be New York City, LA or Chicago. But this venue makes the successful effort to compete and enthrall visitors.

I used to love this museum a lot, I have not been in a few months and they recently installed parking meters in their parking lot. It used to be free parking, this time it is $5, which isn't horrible but just a tad annoying to start the day paying extra money. Their museum gift shop is small and overpriced, but has cute things to buy. Their restaurant is absolutely delicious. The wait staff there tries to be very attentive. We tried the mushroom tart appetizer, which we devoured immediately. We had a cheeseburger and the chicken plate. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and there was hardly a bite left. They even have great drinks! They have three floors of mostly Chinese artifacts and modern art. There are a few other rooms with a few different oil paintings and replicas of statues. I also have a rotating shell. When I went it was black and white photographs throughout the 1900s. There is an outdoor garden area which is cute to explore but curves around the building and then you have to backtrack the whole way as it does not continue or loop around. It's not very handicap accessible outside, but the inside is. The inside has a huge elevator that was very accommodating. If you live in the area, it's probably good to get a membership because it's $25 for an adult for admission, but $80 for the year.

What a fun night. Highly recommend the Friday evening art after dark. Dinner at the on site restaurant which was solid . New chef is very creative. Besides the numerous exhibits there was also a live music opportunity. Spent about four hours there and didn't even begin to do it justice. There are pieces from the masters as well as less know artists. Especially liked a large piece by Rodin. We are certainly not art experts but had a really good time and will return.

Norton Museum offers free admissions to Bank of America cardholders on the first full weekend of every month, and as members of the bank, my boyfriend and I decided to take advantage of the deal this past weekend. The 3-story museum is pristine and beautiful, filled with contemporary and classic pieces that appeal to both art connoisseurs and the general public. Just outside the museum is a garden where you can peruse sculptures or sit in quiet contemplation. There's no shortage of thought-provoking artwork at this museum. That said, our overall experience was negative, thanks to the guard on the 2nd level (specifically, the European Collection room). We were quietly observing the artwork amongst other guests, but this guard followed us around as though we were about to pull off a heist. His 1984 behavior created a really uncomfortable environment for us, so we left shortly after. *** Here's my 0.02 to management *** Train your staff to be more hospitable toward guests. No one likes to be followed when they're trying to admire artwork in peace. Let common sense and common courtesy prevail.

This museum is beautiful and exciting! It's always great to look at the art. History, beauty, and mystery. There's so much to do but yet so little time to look at all of the art! My friend and I were at the museum 12-close and yet we didn't see everything. Just know that you are going to have fun at Norton Museum.

I'm a bit embarrassed that it took me 35 years living in South Florida to visit the Norton Museum, and I intend to make up for lost time. I was particularly interested in the abstract expressionist painters (Rothko, Pollack, de Kooning) displayed there, but was frankly amazed at the vast collection of works by other artists. I instantly became a member and plan to visit many more times in the future.

A fantastic art museum with a very wide selection, spanning pieces from ancient China, Britain, and a beautiful selection of works from otherwise unknown artists. The in-house restraunt is gorgeous with delicious dishes (Try the wild mushroom tart) and great cocktails to enjoy. I took my children there, who otherwise don't have much of an interest in art, and even they had a great time. Definitely a must-see attraction!

I had a lovely dinner and museum experience at the Norton Museum of Art. Dinner was superb with excellent beer & cocktails and elevated food - my salmon was excellent, and my June Daly cocktail fit the evening for me. My wife really enjoyed her beer and her squash. Service was very sharp and warm. The museum itself is incredibly diverse with a large Chinese collection that impressed me along with a few Jackson Pollack's and a number of other European artists. However the modern art and the sculpture garden really stole the show. One of the best museums I have ever visited - I would definitely return!

Very beautiful museum. I attended the Friday after hours event from 5 pm to 10 pm. There was live music in the courtyard which was nice. For parking, there is a lot across the street for $5. Entrance to this event was $10 for an adult. The exhibits are beautiful and the museum is very clean and modern. I definitely recommend coming and checking it out.

If you are in West Palm Beach and looking for something creative to do, The Norton Museum of Art is worth the visit. If you are a student, senior citizen or a resident the prices are so much better! They offer a ton exhibits, when I was in town they had a small Chihuly glass exhibit. Some of my favorite exhibits and are current as of Jan 2022; A Personal View on High Fashion & Street Style: Photographs from the Nicola Erni Collection, 1930s to Now. THROUGH FEBRUARY 12, 2023 Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature THROUGH JANUARY 15, 2023 Special Guest: Beaching the Boat (Afternoon Light) A Masterpiece by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida THROUGH JUNE 25, 2023 Project Room | American Collection, New York Mural by Stuart Davis THROUGH APRIL 16, 2023 Henry Ossawa Tanner: Intimate Pictures THROUGH MARCH 19, 2023 About: The Museum's permanent collection now consists of more than 8,200 works in five curatorial departments: European, American, Chinese, Contemporary and Photography. Since 1954, many distinguished additions have been made thanks to the endowment Mr. Norton created for the purchase of works of art. They include masterpieces such as Stuart Davis's New York Mural (acquired in 1964), and Jackson Pollock's Night Mist (acquired in 1971). Also it should be noted because I was with my mother-in-law who can't stand for a long time, we requested a wheel chair, the staff was more than accommodating! Oh and its first come, first serve so be there early! Lastly, expect to spend a few hours here and their is an onsite restaurant.

Fun exhibits and art. There is beautiful art to look at if you want the serious stuff, but yet still fun art for the more modern people. I won tickets off of Norton museum of art Facebook, and paid for my kids. My family went for Father's Day, which was the perfect day to go, it was not that crowded. Parking is across the street and you can pay with your phone or call a 1-800 number. The only complaint I have is the grouchy ladies who work the metal detectors at the front door. They were not very nice, and one became really irritated that my son walked through the metal detector with me instead of one at a time. Which was an accident. And they didn't tell me not to wear my backpack purse on my back. So when I did walk through the museum, with it on my back, I once again got in trouble by security. Although the security guards were extremely nice about it. The gardens and displays outside were really neat to look at. There is a restaurant but we did not eat there, ending up going to Red Robin's, a lot cheaper for a family. Overall it was a great museum.

Always such a fun place to go with such interesting exhibits. I love the boxing one which was so unique. I have gone a few times now and always find something new even in the permanent exhibits The Chihuly ceiling is my favorite each time. Highly recommend!!!!

I had lunch in the restaurant and it was a great experience. The menu has many delicious items to choose from. I chose the bao buns with the green goddess salad. It was perfect.

I live in South Florida, and this is one of my favorite things to do on a Friday night when it rains, plus who doesn't love a reduced price. I love that they have special theme exhibits. They've also revamped the layout in several rooms and moved around some of the objects, making it feel like a whole new vibe. It's a must see if you love art.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Monday morning. We were very impressed by the variety in the museum's collection. We spend a lot of time looking at European art from the 1300s onward, more recent American art, and Chinese and Japanese textile art. We spent about 2 hours here, but 3 hours would probably be ideal if you want to be thorough.

This is a really fantastic art museum to visit if you're ever in the West Palm Beach area! Located in Downtown West Palm Beach, I really believe this place ranks among the best art museums in the state of Florida. The building is massive and very open and beautiful. The galleries are well laid out, easy to navigate, and spacious. They do a fantastic job highlighting the major works of art and really cover all time periods and global regions. The various rotating exhibits means that you will need to come back several times because there's plenty of art that you will not see the first time around. The biggest tip: if you are a Bank of America card holder, each month there's a weekend that is free for cardholders! So take advantage and visit a fantastic museum :)

We came here for art after dark, which is a program they run every Friday night until 10:00 p.m. and includes live music. I think this is the best art museums in all of South florida. I regret not coming here sooner. We saw paintings and sculptures from some of my favorite artists such as Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe and glass works by Dale Chihuali. I especially liked the photography exhibit by a Moroccan female artist. The art museum has a restaurant and bar so you can grab a cocktail or have dinner. They have a parking lot across the street from the museum, however we found a spot on the side street.

This is one of the coolest museums I've been to in Florida. My friends live in West Palm Beach and had never visited this museum so since I was here for the weekend and we are all suckers for art and a good museum we decided to swing by. The $18 admission was a steal considering how much we enjoyed walking this joint. They have some serious art in there from some of the best artists to have ever walked this earth as well as some fun pieces that are eye catching. May not look big from the outside but there are 3 floors of incredible art. This is a nice fun activity if you're visiting West Palm and it's also close to a lot of restaurants.

Such a great experience here for our very first time at the Norton After Dark. I would die to go back again as it was that amazing. The jazz on the first Friday of every month is killer, and the crafting bit is stellar. I had so much fun here for only $10 a person I can't wait to come back. It's amazing to listen to the love band as I wish there were swanky jazz clubs in WPB. This place will bring you back. Some people were casual and wore jeans while others were dressed to the nines! I felt like I was back in the 20s with people dancing swing and dressed so fine. Truly a great artistic experience with time to explore the museum, craft, listen to music, or even have dinner. I enjoyed taking photos, dancing, and crafting. I'd love to try the food here another time.

I have been here with my family and with my husband alone and we have always had a great time! They have a really impressive permanent collection with big names in art. They also have amazing rotating exhibits and some great lesser know artists. The restaurant at the museum is also very good. The food and drinks are creative and tasty. The museum shop also has cute and different items.

We visited this museum for the first time after about 20 years; maybe it was because we were used to European museums, but we left so disappointed that we never thought of visiting again. The original museum dates back to 1941. In 2019 after several years spent on a remaking project it re-opened with 12,000 sq. ft. of gallery space, expanded classrooms, a larger student exhibition space, a 210-seat auditorium, a store and restaurant, a Great Hall, a lawn for outdoor programs and a sculpture garden. It now displays more than 8,200 works in five different departments (European, American, Chinese, Contemporary and Photography), has ongoing special exhibitions and offers events and workshop at decent prices. The museum has a private parking lot for $5 (for non-members). The entrance costs $18, but it's free every Saturday for WPB residents, and every Saturday during the summer for all PBC residents. We took advantage of the free summer admission to PBC residents to return to the museum to see what had changed since the last time we visited: well... it is now amazing! In addition, we went the day of the Juneteenth celebration: parking was free, there were so many artists selling their works, we attended the performance of The Florida Fellowship Super Choir and participated to other music events in the program! There are a lot of pieces displayed, even from famous artists, and the staff seems always eager to explain it and interact with you. Of course, the museum offers free (and private) tours, but also a new app (Norton Art+) that will give you more information. We will certainly keep taking advantage of the summer free entrance, but we enjoyed our visit so much that we are thinking of getting a membership!
