Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

This handsome museum, Jacksonville's premier cultural space, has an excellent collection of American and European paintings, Asian decorative art and antiquities. Among the highlights of the permanent collection are paintings by, among others, Peter Paul Rubens and Norman Rockwell, and there are usually high-class temporary exhibitions to enjoy. An outdoor area showcases classical English and Italian gardens and is one of the loveliest outdoor spaces in the city.
