My wife, friends and myself often take advantage of the Norton's "free to residence of Palm Beach county on the first Saturday of the month" policy. And we are never disappointed. Aside from the permanent collection, the staff clearly is very active in soliciting traveling exhibits. As I write this, we just finished viewing "The Radical Camera" a collection from... More

Lovely, small, interesting museum. The exhibitions are changed frequently and are presented beautifully. Well run, well organized, and with a helpful and informed staff. Never seems to be over crowded so there is very rarely a waiting line. Have seen some very interesting exhibitions. Very lovely museum that is not provincial at all but rather sophisticated.

Barefoot Postal Beach Walkers, Some Road/Local native Art. Locals that have heard of this stuff should really go see it. LIke living in Paris and not visiting the Mona Lisa. OK, a little exageration there but you get the point. Skip the Duck Brit Pub some afternoon and go. Inexpensive and worth a visit Get some culcha, wontcha? If you... More

Although this museum is nearly two hours away from my home, we come here at least twice a year to enjoy featured attractions and works from the permanent collection. Took my 3 year old granddaughter on her first museum visit. Contrary to what you may think, if you guide a child this young through the museum and set the tone... More

We love the Norton so much that although we live 45 minutes away, we joined and go there frequently. The Art After Dark program is outstanding - not to be missed. The docents , curators and gallerists are all top notch. There's so much to see (as in any museum sensory overload can be a problem) that we recommend a... More

This museum is top quality. Examples of masters on display include: Rubens, Gaugin, Chagall, Matisse, Cezanne, Picasso, Cezanne, Degas, Motherwell, O'keefe, Hopper, Pollock, Warhol, Cezanne, Stella, Mapplethorpe, an extensive collection of contemporary art and a large Chinese collection, etc. We were fortunate to catch an Annie Leibovitz photography exhibit this weekend that was fabulous. Art lovers, don't miss it.

Have lived in the area 10 years and this was a first time for me. Decided to take the opportunity to meet a friend visiting from NJ. The Annie Leibovitz collection is so superior and wonderfully curated. The museum purchased the pieces on display. Favorites...Mick Jaegger, Leo Caprio and Al Sharpton. Worth the trip and showing until June, 2013. Also,... More
