Sarasota's Ringling Museum of Art, on Bay Shore Road, is open late (until 8pm) each Thursday night. And, appropriately for a collection given to the people of Florida by a circus entertainer, it contains work by some of the high-fliers of Western art, from Rubens to Gainsborough, and Bernini to Duchamp. Discover the galleries for yourself this evening - and it's cheaper after 5pm.
