The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

 
  In the early 1900s lumber baron, Arthur Cummer and his wife Ninah, built a mansion along the St. James River, complete with a formal English garden and an Italian garden. All of the property was willed to the city of Jacksonville when Ninah died. The mansion had to be demolished to build the museum but the gardens survived. One room of the mansion has been reassembled inside the museum where visitors can view short videos about Arthur and Ninah, the house and the gardens. The museum contains an interesting and varied collection of European and American art.

  The museum is all accessible. The gardens have ramped walkways throughout so most areas are accessible.

  The parking lot is located across the street from the museum. Short RVs will fit in the lot. Larger RVs can be parked on the street, one block west.  Museum
