The story

The Baker Museum (formerly the Naples Museum of Art) is part of Artis–Naples, a multidisciplinary organization that also is the home of the Naples Philharmonic, located at 5833 Pelican Bay Boulevard, Naples, Florida. The museum, opened in 2000 and later renamed for philanthropists Patty and Jay Baker, houses a diverse collection of art in a three-story, 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) facility. The permanent collection includes works of American modernism, 20th-century Mexican art, sculpture and 3-dimensional art. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum hosts traveling exhibits throughout the year. The Baker Museum also houses the Sisters Reading Room, which contains the Saldukas Family Foundation library collection.
