Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

The Cummer began in 1958 when Ninah Cummer left her art collection and riverfront home to create a museum. Today the collection has grown past 5,000 works, with permanent collection galleries plus rotating exhibitions. Save time for the gardens out back, which stretch along the St. Johns River and are a calm place to slow down between galleries.

Thursday is the late night, open until 8 PM. Admission is free on the first Saturday of each month, and on select evenings. The museum lots now use ParkMobile pay parking, so have the app ready. Riverside’s restaurants and the Five Points shops are a short drive away for lunch after.
