Like most locals, we grew up visiting the Norton Museum of Art. It has been a staple in West Palm Beach since 1941. So, when they announced they were closing for renovations, we were excited to see the results. Well…OMG…the whole museum is insanely beautiful. It’s definitely going to quickly become a favorite among Palm Beach Couples.

The Norton Museum of Art just reopened to the public on Feb 9 and they have already hosted multiple events! It is the perfect space for an elegant yet unique wedding. We think Palm Beach couples will be really excited about the ability to take portraits with certain pieces of art. Read on to learn all about Norton Museum of Art weddings!
Special thanks to MIPB Family Member Norton Museum of Art for sponsoring this article and to all the incredible Palm Beach wedding vendors that helped make these weddings come to life. You can see a full list of vendors at the end of this article.

Location, Hotels, and Parking
One of the things we love about Norton Museum of Art is their convenient location in downtown West Palm Beach. They are steps away from the action of CityPlace, Clematis, and all the activities in downtown.
There are several hotels in downtown West Palm Beach that are just a short Lyft, Uber, or shuttle ride away. Check our Transportation Page for options on buses and shuttles.
Norton Museum of Art does have a dedicated parking lot on the west side of Dixie Highway with a dedicated crosswalk for guests to cross the busy street. They also have a circle drive in front of the museum that would be ideal for offering valet services.
