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.
