Margaret McKay's Company Details
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is the largest fine arts museum in Northeast Florida. The Cummer was established in 1958, when art collector, garden enthusiast, and civic leader Ninah Cummer bequeathed her art collection and riverfront home, which she owned with her husband Arthur, to create a museum. Today, the core collection of 60 pieces from Mrs. Cummer's estate has grown to include 5,000 works of art. The 1.5 acres of historic gardens, set against the backdrop of the St. Johns River, serves as a centerpiece of beauty for all to enjoy. In addition, Art Connections, the Museum's nationally recognized interactive education center, enhances the cultural learning of more than 40,000 students annually.The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is committed to engage and inspire through the arts, gardens, and education.
