Opening Feb. 5, the Venice Museum will exhibit the story of modern architecture in the City with Florida Modern: The Sarasota School of Architecture in Venice. Using many images found in the Venice Historical Resource’s collection, visitors will be surprised to learn about how many buildings were designed here by such prominent architects such as Victor Lundy, Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell. 

This exhibit shows off some of the more well-known places, such as the Herron House. But did you know that one architect designed a dentist’s office while another designed a popular watering hole? Learn about what we have and what we have no more.

Hours are Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and the first and third Saturdays of the month, October through April, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. For more information, visit venicemuseum.org or call 941-486-2487.
