The Cummer Museum was established in 1958 when Ninah Cummer, an avid art collector, garden enthusiast, and civic leader, bequeathed her beloved art collection and riverfront home to create a museum. Today, the core collection of 60 pieces from Mrs. Cummer’s estate has grown to include more than 5,000 works of art. The historic gardens, set against the backdrop of the St. Johns River, serve as a centerpiece of serenity for all to enjoy. We encourage you to reap the benefits of becoming a member of The Cummer Museum. Whether you’re a member or visitor, you’ll fit right in!

It is the Cummer Museum of Art and Garden’s Mission to engage and inspire through the arts, gardens, and education. We believe that art can unite communities and inspire creativity, sincerity, and kindness.
