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 historically significant 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!

The unparalleled experiences we create honor Ninah Cummer’s legacy, enhance the quality of life for everyone, and cement the Cummer Museum’s position as a social hub that ignites surprise and fun.

Located on the banks of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida, the Cummer Museum is a beacon of resilience and a committed steward of its natural environment.

Our passion for showcasing art and living collections through high-impact public programs in a welcoming setting inspires visitors to incorporate the Cummer Museum into their lives. Our commitment, creativity, and dynamism make the Cummer Museum a cultural leader that will positively impact current and future generations.

It is our mission to create art, garden, and learning experiences that spark discovery and well-being.
