Tampa Museum of Art, Art museum in downtown Tampa, United States

The Tampa Museum of Art is an art museum located downtown where galleries display works from different periods and cultures. The white-walled spaces showcase contemporary paintings and photographs alongside Greek and Roman antiquities, all arranged within a modern building.

The institution opened its first exhibition on November 22, 1920, as the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts. After decades of address changes and abandoned plans, including Rafael Viñoly's 2001 proposal, the city and museum board agreed in 2006 on a $33 million building. Groundbreaking took place on April 18, 2008, and the new building opened on February 6, 2010.

The museum's name changed from the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts, which opened its first exhibit on November 22, 1920, to the Tampa Museum of Art. Its Latin American collection grew through donations, including Jorge M. Perez's 2022 gift of Fernando Botero's sculpture Mujer Vestida and Antonio Permuy's 2024 donations of Josignacio's The Pact, marking the Cuban Thaw, and AGalban's Lagrimas de la Habana.

The museum sits in Curtis Hixon Park on the Hillsborough River along the Tampa Riverwalk, half a block north of its old site. Two entrances and two help desks are on the first floor, with the galleries upstairs; a gift shop occupies the west side. The 2023 renovation added seven galleries and an education center.

The exterior walls are fitted with fiber-optic lights that change color, part of architect Stanley Saitowitz's design for a building he likened to an electronic jewelbox on a glass pedestal. The same scheme earned the museum an American Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum in 2010.
