Sarasota museum showcasing art, whimsy, and handcrafted installations in an intimate setting.
About
Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy sits on North Tamiami Trail in Sarasota and centers on the creative vision of founder and curator Marietta Lee. The museum features rotating exhibits and gardens alongside a striking centerpiece: The Lee Family Arch, an archway assembled from seashells, gems, beads, crystals, stones, pearls, marbles, watches, and other found objects. The arch honors Marietta's family members across generations. Beyond the galleries, the museum hosts artist talks, founder's talks, events, and parties. Visitors can also volunteer or contribute donations to support the space. It's a neighborhood spot for anyone curious about local art and the stories behind handmade installations.
