Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art

The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art spans three buildings, featuring modern and contemporary art collections with paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces from Florida artists.

The museum opened in 2002 following Allen Leepa's 1996 gift of art to St. Petersburg College, including works inherited from his stepfather Abraham Rattner.

The permanent collection contains over 2,000 artworks by notable creators including Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Marc Chagall, Auguste Herbin, and Georges Rouault.

The museum complex includes the main exhibition space, the Ellis Foundation Art Education Center, and the Michael M. Bennett Library for research purposes.

The building's architecture, designed by Edward C. Hoffman Jr., mirrors a ship's bow, reflecting the local fishing and sponge industries of Tarpon Springs.
