Nicknamed the AGB (aka the Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art at Florida Southern College), one of the best museums in Tampa Bay is open to the public and charges no admission fee.
"We consider [the AGB] to be one of the real jewels here in Polk County," says Dr. Daryl Ward, the museum's executive director.
It's a hidden gem and then some, and includes a new $8 million expansion wing that allows for big, bold new exhibits such as the mesmerizing "Folklore & Fairytales: The Fantastical World of Andrea Dezso."
The permanent collection includes several works by Andy Warhol, including prints from his Campbell's Soup and Marilyn Monroe periods.
The AGB is open Tuesday through Saturday during the summer.
