The Tampa Museum of Art is located in downtown Tampa, Florida. It exhibits modern and contemporary art, as well as Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. The museum opened its first exhibit on November 22, 1920[1] when the institution was called the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts. After many address changes during the institution's first several decades, it debuted an award-winning new building in 2010 for its permanent location along Tampa's Riverwalk on the banks of Hillsborough River.
