Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art at St. Petersburg College

Opened to the public in 2002, LRMA is a modern and contemporary art museum with a collection of more than 7,000 works of 20th and 21st century art. The museum’s permanent collection includes works by Abraham Rattner, a renowned figurative expressionist; Esther Gentle, Rattner’s second wife and a printmaker, sculptor, and painter; Allen Leepa, Rattner’s stepson and an abstract expressionist artist; and an extensive collection of works by notable 20th century artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger and Henry Moore, and contemporary Florida artists and fine crafts.  The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, a distinction held by only 3 percent of all U.S. museums.

Museum hours are 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Admission by suggested donation of $10. The museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays and major holidays.
