A WORK OF ART IN PROGRESS
These are exciting days at the Ringling as signs of growth and renewal are evident throughout the estate. Fittingly, a grand new entrance will soon utilize the historic Ca d'Zan Gatehouse to welcome guests to the new Visitors Pavilion. This project, as well as the addition to the Museum of Art and the new Education/Conservation Complex, was designed by Yann R. Weymouth, AIA, the internationally distinguished architect and Design Director of Hellmuth, Obata, + Kassbaum (HOK Florida).

"Amazement is not the word that conveys to the intelligent mind that any man could accomplish in a life time, what the late Mr. John Ringling exhibits in his magnificent collection ... It compels respect, admiration, and much thought for this one man achievement." --Jonce McGurk, Appraisal of The Contents of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, 1938

Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius
JANUARY 29-APRIL 10, 2005
Ansel Adams is among the few photographers in history whose name and work enjoy worldwide recognition. His stunning landscapes and intimate still lifes continue to captivate viewers.
