Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens celebrates 60th
Over Veterans Day weekend, the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens kicked off a yearlong celebration of its 60th anniversary with music, dance, arts, activities, and more. Food and fun, the galleries and gardens were enjoyed by families and friends of all ages. Admission was free thanks to support from VyStar Credit Union and PNC Bank.
The Museum was founded on Nov. 11, 1961. Today, it serves as one of Northeast Florida’s premier cultural and educational resources. It holds over 5,000 works of art in its collection, spanning from 2100 B.C. through the 21st century, as well as 2.5 acres of historic gardens established by the Museum’s founder, Ninah Cummer.
“For 60 years, the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens has served as a vital source of inspiration and a place of reflection for our community—a role that has taken on even greater significance during the pandemic,” said Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Ph.D., George W. and Kathleen I. Gibbs Director and CEO of the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens.
Through 2022, the Museum will honor this special occasion. A variety of programs and events designed to celebrate its legacy of community impact and signal its future growth are planned. For details, visit www.CummerMuseum.org.
