Representing the consummation of an ideal, there
has been builded by Mr. and Mrs. John Ringling
the second largest Art Museum in the United
States. The building has 22 side-lighted galleries,
from 40 to 110 feet long. For the most part
the paintings from the Byzantine schools and the
trecento to the nineteenth century, hang in separate
period rooms. Eighty-eight sculptures adorn the
space between the rim of the building and the
garden or patio. In the center space of the garden,
topping one of the largest stages in America, is to
be seen one of these, the Michael Angelo, "David".
The Famous Fountain of Turtles from Rome
was restored by Alexander VII, Pope of Rome.
in 1663 and brought to the U. S. to become one
8 of the art treasures of the Ringling Museum.
