Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement 🇺🇸

Located in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement (MAACM) offers you a remarkable look into American fine and decorative arts from roughly 1880 to 1920. Founded by art collector, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Rodolfo "Rudy" Ciccarello and funded by the Two Red Roses Foundation, this 137,000-square-foot, five-story facility features architecture designed by Ciccarello and Alfonso Architects that reflects core movement tenets like natural connections and truth to materials.

Inside, you will discover 40,000 square feet of gallery space filled with furniture, ceramics, and artwork. You can admire works by iconic creators such as Gustav Stickley, Tiffany Studios, Rookwood Pottery, Dirk Van Erp, and Newcomb Pottery, alongside early 20th-century photography from figures like Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. While visiting, you will also see immersive period installations, including a complete wood-paneled room designed by Greene and Greene, a custom-tiled bathroom, a Grueby boathouse floor, and an impressive 600-tile Rookwood Pottery mural.

Beyond the galleries, the museum grounds feature a reference library, 100-seat auditorium, glass-working studio, gift shop, and café, making it an extraordinary destination for art lovers.
