Print ArticleOne thing you’ll probably never do is go bored in Jacksonville. With all the things there seem to be available to do in this city, the price tag for “fun” can start to get pretty hefty. Fear not, for not only is there lots of things to do—there’s lots of things to do for FREE. Here’s a second installment of “10 Free Things to Do in Jacksonville.”
3. Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
If you are an art lover who is free on Tuesday nights, then the Cummer Museum is the place to be. The Cummer Museum’s got three parts—the art, the gardens, and the education center. As far as the art goes, the Cummer has one of the finest collections in the Southeast, housing nearly 5,000 in its permanent collection. Moreover, the art collection spans from as early as 2000 BC, all the way up through the 21st century.
The Museum’s gardens on the other hand, spread over 2.5 acres, housing reflection ponds, arbors, and one of Jacksonville’s oldest trees. Alongside both the gardens and the art, the Cummer works to enhance the visitor experience by including a nationally recognized, interactive learning center.
The Cummer is free to anyone every Tuesday evening. For location and event information, visit www.cummermuseum.org.
