Pensacola Museum of Art, Art museum in downtown Pensacola, United States.

The Pensacola Museum of Art occupies a two-story 1906 building that served as the city's first permanent jail, built in the Spanish Revival style. Its former cells were converted into galleries, and the museum holds 20th and 21st century modern and contemporary painting, sculpture and works on paper, plus European and American glass and African tribal art.

The city of Pensacola built this two-story structure in 1906 as its first permanent jail. In 1954 the Pensacola Art Association, formed by members of the American Association of University Women, leased the vacated building for $1 a year and turned the cells into galleries. It became the Pensacola Museum of Art in 1982, bought the building in 1988, and transferred ownership to the University of West Florida in July 2016.

The museum began in 1954 when women of the American Association of University Women formed the Pensacola Art Association and leased the former city jail for one dollar a year, turning its cells into galleries. It took its present name in 1982 and has been accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 2001.

The museum occupies the former city jail on South Jefferson Street in the Historic Downtown District, a central spot within walking distance of other downtown sights. Guided tours are offered on request for groups of more than ten people, and a gift shop sells local products and artworks. It closes on Mondays.

The jail cells themselves became the first galleries: the Pensacola Art Association leased the 1906 building from the city for $1 a year and turned the cells into exhibition spaces. The museum bought the former jail in 1988, and since 2016 it has belonged to the University of West Florida.
