I came here on a quiet Tuesday morning and had the gardens almost to myself. The art collection is impressive and the riverside gardens are stunningly beautiful — a hidden gem in JAX.
Excellent exhibit about how to tell a phony Tiffany from an authentic Tiffany stained glass. What a nice surprise to find an old growth oak tree!
Fantastic service and kindness at the desk w my service dogs and me. Loved the museum !
There’s good collection of art pieces. Do not miss out on exploring the gardens as the views are gorgeous! Almost every corner is picture worthy. This is definitely a gem in Jacksonville.
Excellent collection of a variety of Art. Paintings, pottery, sculpture and we were treated to classical string music, local acoustic guitar music, and tribal drum music. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful and their giant oak tree is impressive.
