Speed Art Museum

The Speed Art Museum is home to one of the most revered art collections in the South. At 12,000 pieces strong, there is no shortage of stuff to display, so visitors are continually treated to glimpse after glimpse into over 6,000 years worth of fine, fine art. Housed in a stately building of Kentucky limestone, the place oozes history and grandeur. Special attention is paid to American -- and particularly Kentuckian -- art, but the whole world is well represented, with whole collections dedicated to Europe, Africa, the Ancient World and more.
