The museum houses a permanent collection which includes paintings by Abraham Rattner and contemporary Florida sculpture [1] including modern art by Abraham Rattner, Esther Gentle, and Allen Leepa, as well as by Rattner's contemporaries, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Marc Chagall, Auguste Herbin, Georges Rouault, Hans Hofmann, and Max Ernst.

[3] Leepa, a professor of art at Michigan State University from 1945 to 1983 and an abstract expressionist artist in his own right,[4] was the stepson of Abraham Rattner (1893–1978)[5] – a highly regarded 20th-century modern artist who was a friend and contemporary of Pablo Picasso and other early modernists in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s[2] – and the son of Esther Gentle (1899–1991),[6] a sculptor, painter, and printmaker.

[4] After his mother's death, Leepa inherited his stepfather's estate, which included works by Rattner and his contemporaries.

He was succeeded by Victoria Cooke in 2011, Ann Larsen in 2013, Dr. Teresa Wilkins in 2019, and Christine Renc-Carter in 2022.
