The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts

My experience here was one of the best while in Tampa. I am an avid photographer and love documenting trips and where I visit. This tour was free and we got an entire tour of the museum by our wonderful tour guide. We got to visit during the day and we were practically the only ones on the tour. 10/10 would recommend!

An absolute gem in Ybor City, the Art Museum exudes a captivating atmosphere that elevates the entire experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, making every visit feel like a warm welcome. The curated collection is not just impressive but also thought-provoking. And let's not forget the delightful surprises in the form of unique items available for purchase – a perfect way to take a piece of art home with you. Located in the vibrant heart of Ybor City, this museum is a definite recommendation for both locals and tourists seeking a blend of culture and charm. A must-visit that earns top marks for its friendly vibes and artistic treasures.

This snapshot of Local and other photographers currently hosts photos of celebrities, mostly in the music industry, from the 20th century. The museum offers events, classes, opening receptions, and fund raisers. Currently, the sale of displayed photographs benefits the local Artist Community. Great photo museum.

Wow! I love photos and art in general but it's not a museum, I felt cheated and disappointed. A glorified and generic photo exhibit that took around 10 minutes to see. Not worth $12 at all. My first reaction was that's it. Really! My son stared at me in disbelief. Yikes!!! If you want to enjoy art or a museum visit The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, Imagine Museum or anything else around Central Florida.

My wife and I are both into photography so we appreciated the art and took our time. That said it only took about an hour to see everything. There are 2 dead end wings. Maybe 50 to 60 photos? If you're in the Curtis Park area it's nice to come inside for a look around the lobby, which is very nice.

This was my first time visiting this museum . I came to see the Langston Hughes collection . I was very satisfied with my experience there because the museum has a little bit of everything. They also showcase photographs from local artist as well as extrinsic artist as Roger Ballen (1950)

The opening exhibit at their new location in Ybor City is fantastic. Icons of black and white photography - among many works in familiar with, I greatly enjoyed learning new ones such as Lewis Hine. Highly recommend this art exhibit to enjoy photography greats close to home.

Excellent museum historical photos and just a wonderful place to add culture to your visit to YBOR
