With the addition of two museums in Tampa Bay this year, we have even more opportunities to discover a vast array of incredible works of art. And what better way to spend a sultry summer day than in the refuge of culture and air conditioning? Revolutionary summer exhibitions are underway or about to be inaugurated, and many museums are also planning special programs.
But visiting each exhibition that piques your interest could become terribly expensive. Fortunately, in the interest of accessibility, it is possible to visit most museums for $ 10 or less. Some museums are still affordable, while others offer weekly discounts. So take the kids, your friends and those who visit relatives and go see some art.
