The Patricia and Philip Forst Art Museum

Florida International University

 I visited The Patricia and Philip Forst Art Museum in Florida International University, I am not expected what I saw over there. This museum is magnificent. I am glad to find that  how they are wonderful starting from the staff end to the security, When I came to the front desk, I met Brittany Ballinger she is beautiful and very helpful girl , she show  me everything in the museum , and she told me that  she can give me any information that I need and she told me that I  can take pictures without using flash light. The Patricia& Phillip Frost Art Museum (formerly The Art Museum at FIU) opened in 1977. Initially a small gallery of less than 3000 square feet, the Museum grew to achieve local, national and international recognition as one of South Florida’s key cultural institutions. The Frost Art Museum’s extraordinary programmatic growth during the 1980s and 1990s, qualified the Museum for designation as a Major Cultural Institution by both the State of Florida and Miami-Dade County. Grants from both sources, complimented by endowments, membership and private and corporate giving, provide stable funding for annual programs. In 1999, the Museum received accreditation from the American Associations of Museums (AAM) and reaccredited in 2011. In 2001, the Museum became an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.  following I put some pictures for my self when I was inside the museum.
