About
The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art is a museum located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The museum was founded by businessman Thomas James, and opened in 2018. The museum has thousands of pieces from the James' collection, including both contemporary and traditional works. Tom and Mary James spent $75 million creating the Museum.
The building uses veined sandstone to mimic the look of American Southwestern canyons, with carvings reminiscent of Mese Verde cliff dwellings. Weathered copper and turquoise panels evoke images of the Native American turquoise jewelry that is on display within the museum.
