Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens

Ormond Beach, Florida, United States

---

The Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens in Ormond Beach, Florida, was founded in 1946 to honor veterans of World War I and World War II and to inspire the community through a blend of art and nature.

The museum features rotating exhibits with works by regional, national, and international artists, including "spiritual oil paintings" by Malcolm Fraser, who donated his collection as part of the museum’s creation. The surrounding botanical gardens are a peaceful sanctuary with winding trails, native and exotic plants, a gazebo, water features including a turtle pond and waterfall, and sculptures that enhance the reflective atmosphere.

The gardens also include the historic 1885 Emmons Cottage and a greenhouse named after longtime museum artisan Janett VanWicklen Taylor. This combination of cultural art and lush natural landscapes offers visitors a unique, tranquil experience that celebrates both creativity and remembrance.
