Cummer Museum's historic gardens and collection

The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens preserves nearly two acres of formal riverside gardens that date to the early 20th century, making them among the oldest documented formal gardens in Northeast Florida. The museum's collection comprises over 5,000 works of art spanning European, American, and contemporary pieces, and the site combines art galleries with the historic landscape along the St. Johns River. The museum operates as a cultural institution unique to Jacksonville for its integration of substantial historic gardens with a museum collection.
