Appleton Museum of Art - Ocala, Florida

Wind Tree Studios

This museum has a culturally diverse collection of artifacts and art pieces that literally span the globe and the centuries. Modern works on local themes are also on prominent display. Children can enjoy a well stocked "hands on" project area as well. The first Saturday of every month has free admission allowing for all members of the community access to this beautiful place.

What a great treasure trove of beautiful art in a variety of forms. From maritime paintings to Samurai artifacts, this museum had everything. I was fortunate to benefit from free admission for their free first Saturday program (check it out!)

My husband really enjoyed an exhibit of oil color paintings of springs, some of them local to our central Florida area. I loved the Japanese Samurai artifacts and the African artifacts. Lots of sculpture and artifacts peppered throughout were in addition to the abundant and thought-provoking wall art.

The layout of the museum was organized and gentle, with a staircase or elevator as necessary to the 2nd floor, also full of art. The center had a lovely garden with fountain and protective lion statues. The building and property made a lovely home for the treasures inside.

I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend the museum to anyone in the area looking to burn a couple of hours immersed in culture and history.

Amazing. Awesome. An absolutely must visit. The exhibits are varied and spaciously arranged so no crowded feeling. Plenty of staff and volunteers. The grounds are beautiful and make for a pleasant stroll. the first Saturday of the month the admission is free. There is truly something for everyone.

We had a great time at this museum! So many things to look at and the Christmas Santa collection and nutcrackers were amazing! Some really cool exhibits and the art room was super fun as well! Free to do whatever art project available and everything is provided! A great place for kids especially! Some things you can make and take home, other projects stay and are posted on boards on display! Very interesting and lots of fun! We really enjoyed our day there! Cute gift shop that's not overly priced and had some cute things to buy to remember the trip! Loved it overall! The only thing I thought we might see is some art by V Van Gogh or Renoir but none. Oh well, still a great museum! $8 to get in with AARP or senior discount. They have other discounts as well for teachers, firefighters, military etc! AND they have free Saturdays once a month! Check it out!

Extremely beautiful and well organized art museum with soooo much to look at! I really enjoyed my time here especially making all sorts of projects in the art space room! College of Central Florida students get free admission! Will be back whenever I’m in the area! Everyone was so welcoming! Awesome place!

규모는 크지 않지만 아기자기하게 매우 잘 꾸며진 미술관이에요. 12월 크리스마스 테마는 정말 아름답네요. 매월 첫 토요일은 입장료가 무료입니다.

We did a first Saturday event during the Christmas holiday to experience the various trees they had up as well as the blow up art exhibit. It’s never a dull day at the Appleton. Staff is always friendly. Plenty of free parking. Food vendors outside and the Beauty and the Beast exhibit was there as well. We even got to see a nice performance from the Civic Center youth program. I always go when coming back to visit from Miami!

Lovely Wednesday morning with a friend. It was my first time visiting. Lots to look at and learn. I spent 2 hours here, making the $8 entrance fee well worth it. The place was peaceful and clean with friendly staff.
