Art Museum and Sculpture Garden

Marietta Museum is dedicated to raising the importance of positive and whimsical art. The museum exhibits a diverse collection of quality art from classic to lighthearted and fun. Enjoy paintings, sculptures, and mixed media from more than 250 by mostly living artists.

Marietta, an artist herself and a graduate of Ringling College of Art & Design, is passionate about having female artists displayed equally among the Museum’s collection of artwork.

The colorful outdoor menagerie of Lee Family Gardens features grand pink flamingos, a bridge, a boat, a bathysphere, a ballerina, and a stainless steel rocket ship. The outdoor sculptures are nestled within a canopied historic oak grove with cascading orchids and indigenous tropical plants.
