Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

This museum is a nice little gem. It was easy to find and parking is just across the street. The highlight of my visit was the garden. The azaleas were blooming, which gave the garden such nice color and promise of Spring. The museum was nice with unusual art displays. The children's section of the museum was impressive with hands on displays. I can't wait to bring grandkids here.

This museum is one of the 10 best that I have visited in the States and Europe because it combines art work and a beautiful artistically appealing garden that overlooks the Fuller bridge over the St John's River. The museum has ramps and pathways to help visitors with mobility issues. The museum also has wheelchair accessible entrances, parking, seating, and restrooms. Allegedly the museum also provides wheelchairs for free. I would call first. There are also cafes available if you are hungry. You can also sign up with a guided tour of 10 people at $25 per person. Plan to spend 2.5 hours to see everything at a normal pace. It is so worth it.

We shared a wonderful visit to the gallery and gardens yesterday. It was peaceful and relaxing, as well as entertaining. The garden overlooking the river, with the magnificent live oak, made me want to sit awhile with a good book. We finished off our visit with lunch outside from the cafe. It was delicious! Thanks to the staff for making our day such a pleasure.

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is visiting local art museums—and this one did not disappoint! 🎨✨ The exhibitions were impressive, and best of all, no crowds—just a peaceful atmosphere perfect for appreciating art in silence. But the real hidden gem? The garden out back. 🌿💐 Sitting there with a book, soaking in the river views, felt like the ultimate way to spend a relaxing afternoon. Art, nature, and tranquility—all in one place. 🏞️📖💕

Nice collection and beautiful gardens. The gardens are closed when it rains, and I wish I had known that. I probably wouldn’t have gone since I was mainly interested in seeing the gardens. Overall, the museum is neat. There is a large kids' area with plenty of activities.
