While in Sarasota, Florida, I visited the Marietta Museum of Art and Whimsy. I really enjoyed this place. It was (technically) free to get in; but, they do ask for a donation ($5). It is well worth the 5-bucks! I enjoyed walking around the gorgeous gardens, and looking at all the whimsical art.
You canNOT miss this place. The giant flamingo (above) sits right by the parking lot. Then, it has all these adorable flamingo lawn ornaments in front of it. I never knew it existed until I was driving by one day and saw the flamingos. They were calling me to come in!
There is lots of art inside the building. It is exactly what it should be: Whimsical!

Even the employees are whimsical!
The grounds are positively beautiful. That was my favorite part. Everywhere you look, there is something unique and cute - not to mention all the beautiful flowers and foliage!

I LOVE this place!
Be sure to walk around the parking lot. There are a lot of statues and more beautiful flowers!
This is a rare Bat Flower. I was here December 2014, and it was open. Be sure to seek it out if you visit here. It's very unique.
