JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens will be opening their galleries to the public Tuesday as they move into Phase 2 of reopening.
The museum originally opened their gardens to the public on June 20 with restrictions. Everyone must wear a mask inside and guests are required to go online and pick a time slot to ensure capacity limits are followed.
While those same restrictions are in place, the galleries will reopen, however the interactive education center will remain closed. The Cummer Cafe will also be closed until August 1.
“Since the Museum closed to the public in March, we have been diligently working toward the day when we could safely welcome the community back to our galleries to find comfort, inspiration and respite during this challenging time,” said Interim Director and Chief Advancement Officer, Kerrie Slattery. “We are grateful to be able to open our doors so that everyone can once again experience art, culture and connection, in a safe and socially distanced setting.”
Some of the current traveling exhibitions at the Cummer include Striking Power: Iconoclasm in Ancient Egypt and Eugene Louis Charvot.
As a part of the reopening, VyStar Credit Union is sponsoring free admission for active duty service members and their families on July 25 and July 26.
“VyStar Credit Union has a deep appreciation for our military, and we are proud to partner with the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens to sponsor free admission for service members and their families,” said Brian Wolfburg, President/CEO of VyStar Credit Union. “We hope this provides a meaningful experience that celebrates the rich art and culture found in our community.”
