At only $1/ticket for students, thus museum is a great deal. The collection is limited, but they have some interesting pieces. Extremely friendly staff, and the lakeside sculpture garden is the perfect place for a picnic.
The museum itself is really petite with a mainstay collection from a self-taught local artist and a rotating display featuring a new artist every few months. It's okay for an art gallery, but what really makes it for me is their outdoor sculpture garden and trails nearby.
You can go along the Orlando Urban Trail up to Mead Garden that is about 1.5 miles from here or to Lake Highland about the same distance away.
It's near to the Orlando Science Center and Orlando Art Museum so you could hit these up as well! Also, Better Than Sex Dessert Cafe is around the corner as well.
Small museum. Easy to see in 30 min. Check before going..sometimes great collections. Beautiful outdoor sculptures. Park like outdoor setting is nice..after the museum..
The Mennello Museum, housed in the late home of Dr. Phillips’ son… yes, the Dr. Phillips, is home to a beautiful collection of works by the late artist, Earl Cunningham. We recommend stopping by to see this exhibit as it is quite stunning. The use of rich colors and nautical themes are fun to explore. We love being able to dive into pieces like his. From his use of precision brush strokes to the layered paints, his pieces are dazzling when viewed up close. The Earl Cunningham collection was assembled by Michael and Marilyn of Winter Park, Florida another amazing area with cool art museums. The City of Orlando opened the museum with this collection over 19 years ago. Since his passing, his paintings have been acquired by museums and collectors all over the world. It’s amazing that we have so many here in Central Florida. In the sculpture garden, you can explore sculptures galore! These diverse pieces are speckled around the museum’s grounds and shady oak trees. Be sure to take time to fully explore this collection as some of the pieces are also along the Orlando Urban Trail which runs along the museum’s grounds. We visited on the second Sunday of the month when they host their Free Family Funday. This allows for families to visit the museum for free and gain the cultural appreciation for the works that are housed here. The museum, owned by the City of Orlando, is a beautiful member of the local area’s art museums. There are plans in the future to expand the museum. We can’t wait to see the new facility when it’s done so we can check out all the new additions.
Manageable galleries. Excellent captions. Outdoor sculptures most impressive.
