As part of the Waterfront Arts District, the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts is located alongside the Tampa Riverwalk, within the second and third floors of the impressive, airy atrium, the Cube. Perfect for photography enthusiasts, the sleek, stylishly designed building is the epicentre for important photographic art pieces central to contemporary life and culture, serving to both collect and display historic and contemporary works of art by international and local photographers.

Fascinating works within the permanent collection housed within the museum include that by Harold Edgerton using his invention, the strobe light, notable celebrity portraits by Len Prince, iconic Woodstock scenes by the talented Burk Uzzle, as well as prominent civil rights moments in American history documented by the photojournalist Bud Lee. Stunning panoramic (or “Cirkut”) photographs, including that of the beautiful Panama Canal and of early Tampa history, captivate with their realistic portrayal of historic moments in the early 20th-century.
