The Norton Museum of Art was founded in 1941 by Ralph Hubbard Norton (1875–1953) and his wife, Elizabeth Calhoun Norton (1881–1947) in West Palm Beach . For many years, Ralph and Elizabeth Norton were actively interested in fine arts and developed a sizable collection of paintings and sculpture.

The Norton Museum's permanent collection consists of over 5,000 works and is internationally known for its distinguished permanent collection featuring 19th and 20th century European and American art, Chinese, contemporary art and photography. From its founding, the Norton Museum of Art has been famous for its masterpieces of 19th century and 20th century painting and sculpture by European artists such as Brancusi, Gauguin, Matisse, Miró, Monet, Picasso and by Americans such as Davis, Hassam, Hopper, Manship, O'Keeffe, Pollock and Sheeler. Guided tours of the museums collection and exhibitions begin daily at 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm.  

The Norton Museum of Art's collection of European art includes excellent examples by artists such as Lucas Cranach the Elder, Joos van Cleve the Elder, Giovanni Bezzi (called Il Nosadella), Valerio Castello, Luca Giordano, Claude Monet and Alessandro Magnasco.

Worthy of special notice are the Flemish paintings of the early 17th century by contemporaries and pupils of Peter Paul Rubens, such as Anthony van Dyck, and a fine group of 18th- and early 19th-century British portraits by artists such as Joshua Reynolds, George Romney, Henry Raeburn, and Thomas Lawrence.
