Orlando Museum of Art
Although this fixture of local culture is often touted as de rigueur in much tourist literature, there’s a hitch. The Museum is reeling from a 2022 FBI raid that seized 25 fake Basquiat paintings that were being passed off as the real thing. Curators were purged and the institution is rebuilding its credibility. Most of its works are not particularly important, just high atmosphere, as the scandal might suggest. OMA takes less than an hour to see.
