The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is a Jacksonville fine art museum that was originally established in 1961 following the death of Ninah Cummer, who donated her personal art collections for the creation of a new museum facility. The museum preserves Cummer's home and estate as an art museum and public garden, offering free admission for visitors on Tuesday evenings and the first Saturday of each month. A beautiful permanent collection of artwork is showcased throughout the estate, with pieces dating as far back as 2100 B.C. Highlights of the collection include European and American paintings from the Renaissance and modern eras and collections of Meissen porcelain. Several rooms are preserved in their original historic condition, containing period-appropriate furniture owned by Cummer. Outside, the museum's 1.45-acre gardens include a garden designed by the Olmsted Brothers.
