Montgomery AL - Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts


Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  
Art is knowing which ones to keep.
(Scott Adams)



Founded in 1930, the MMFA is the oldest fine arts museum in Alabama.  The Museum is located on 35+ acres of land donated to the City of Montgomery by Mr. and Mrs. Winton M. Blount as part of the Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park.   The facility contains 73,000 square feet of interior space, including 30,000 square feet of exhibition space, extensive education facilities, a 240-seat state-of-the-art auditorium, a fine arts library of more than 5,000 volumes, storage and preparation areas with a sophisticated climate-controlled system, a gift shop and a cafe.  (Source:  www.mmfa.org)  Admission is free!
