A visit to the Boca Raton Museum of Art makes an interesting diversion on your walk through Mizner Park. The permanent collection displays works by many of the greatest America artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as paintings by European masters including Degas, Matisse, and Picasso. West African art and modern sculpture are also represented, along with a rotating program of temporary exhibitions. The “Music in the Museum” series presents classical music concerts, while art workshops introduce children and young adults to creative techniques.
Addison Mizner’s ambitious vision can still be glimpsed in the buildings in downtown Boca Raton that survive from his heyday. Many of these are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as prime examples of Mediterranean Revival design. The architect’s original administrative offices have been converted into an upscale shopping mall. A self-guided walking tour of Mizner Park offers an introduction to his unmistakable design style in a new development of restaurants and cultural venues, while the opulent Boca Raton Resort & Club is an iconic oceanfront landmark, known as the “pink hotel” for its flamboyant color wash.
