Mother's Day at the Ringling Museum


This Sunday, May 9th, Moms can enjoy $10 admission to the Ringling Museum.

Explore the Museum of Art, built by John Ringling to house his personal collection of masterpieces, today features paintings and sculptures by the great Old Masters including Rubens, van Dyck, Velazquez, Titian, Tintoretto and more. The European, American and Asian masterworks available here make the Museum of Art an awe-inspiring retreat. It is a palace for treasures emulating the footprint of Florence's Uffizi Gallery, echoing its grace and grandeur.

A stop at the Ringling Museum wouldn't be complete without a tour of the Ca d'Zan Mansion. This mansion is a tribute to the American Dream and reflects the splendor and romance of Italy. The Ca d'Zan has 56 incredible rooms filled with art and original furnishings.

Capture some family photos in Mable Ringling's Rose Garden, one of the loveliest spots on the Ringling estate, and, when in bloom, the most fragrant.

The Ringling Museum is located at 5401 Bay Shore Road in the heart of Sarasota. Just a few minutes from numerous vacation rentals on Longboat Key, Lido Key and Sarasota.
