#### Browse through art that dates back thousands of years and explore scenic gardens housing one of the oldest trees in the region at this museum in Jacksonville.

The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is known for its eclectic range of paintings from Europe and the U.S. The museum is home to a vast collection of Messein porcelain, an antique form of china that dates back to the early 18th century. Stroll through 2.5 acres (1 hectare) of picturesque gardens with an early 20th-century design and one of the oldest trees in the Jacksonville area. Visit the education center which offers classes, tours and concerts.

Browse thousands of works of art in the permanent exhibition. Some of the pieces date back as far as 2100 B.C. Admire Egyptian and Greek antiques that have survived thousands of years. See examples of Renaissance art on display. Temporary international exhibits pass through the museum for months at a time.

Discover the interactive children’s area, which can keep the kids entertained for hours. Activities allow them to cut and glue with paper and make mini sculptures. Take adult art classes at the Art Connections education center.Enjoy a snack and a refreshing drink at the café outside as you admire picturesque views of the well-kept gardens. See the Cummer Oak, which is said to be between 175 and 200 years old. Its canopy stretches across 150 feet (46 meters). Enjoy the ponds, fountains and sculptures throughout the garden.

The museum was established in 1961 on the former home of residents Arthur and Ninah Cummer. It is open daily year-round except Mondays and certain national holidays. Opening times vary, so check the official museum website for details. There is an admission fee, except on Tuesday evenings and on the first Saturday of every month, when admission is free and tours are offered. Seniors, students and children have discounted entry.

The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is located just south of the center of Jacksonville. It is on the northwest bank of the St. Johns River. Catch the Skyway monorail to Central Station. If you come by car, use the free parking near the museum entrance.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,009 reviews)

The patio door was not able to be opened without the assistance of the engineer. The freezer had no ice— it had been turned off. The tvs did not work the first night—the picture and the sound were broken up and garbled. The second night we needed the help of the engineer again as all three tvs said “no signal”. The showers were difficult to operate without first knowing how they worked. The twin bed’s mattress was very uncomfortable. All of the outlets in the kitchen had been shut off, but we did figure out to turn them on. The room itself was lovely, really enjoyed the ocean view and we loved the pools, the beach and the restaurants! Every staff person was wonderful.

Leticia at the front desk was fantastic! I had a health related attack on the way back from Atlanta and we decided to stay at the Ritz so I could rest. We stayed at this Ritz on our honeymoon over 30 years ago, had my 50th birthday party at Salt with guests for a weekend, stayed there for our 30th wedding anniversary and had dinner at Salt also (I highly recommend Salt), stayed many holidays with our children and friends, car shows, and it is still such a wonderful resort. You cannot go wrong staying at this beautiful resort. We have loved it for over 30 years and hope to keep going there for many more years to come. All of the staff is great, but a special shout out to Leticia. Thank you for helping us.
