I attended a yoga session in the sculpture garden, which was beautifully landscaped and scenic. Afterward, I explored the museum, which had its own unique charm and majesty. The museum was currently featuring the works of a Pakistani-American artist, which were thoughtfully presented and displayed. Although the museum isn't particularly large, its cozy size adds to its warm and inviting ambiance. Overall, I had a delightful visit and highly recommend taking the time to explore both the grounds and the museum.
Intimate and fascinating. Went on a free day with my family, children enjoyed it (free arts&crafts activities for the kids). Staff was friendly and informative. Parking lot is small but plenty of parking near by (parking garage, parking lot across the street).
Great student discount! Fun exhibits, small size. Quick 30-45 minutes to see everything. I also recommend visiting the enormous, stunning tree outside—it’s a whole art museum of itself.
Although small, it was a nice little museum to look around and learn some history. The displays were interesting and informative. Don't expect to be here all day. Maybe 2 hours tops. There is a nice small sculpture garden outside as well. You pay a small fee to go in the museum but well worth it.
They do have family day, which is free. You would need to confirm which days it is available. Various sculptures outside and inside. Beautiful various artists' artwork on display inside
We went on a day when admission was free and they had a children's activity outside. The museum provided all the supplies for the kids to create their own masterpieces! My kids had a great time and got to take their creations home!
It's a bit small, but absolutely worth the $5 they charge to get in. They even have a free day every so often. The collection is fantastic and you can spend as long or little enjoying it as you want, within museum hours. They also have expansion plans, with a model and description of their plans inside the museum. Very exciting stuff!
It's a hidden gem in Orlando and definitely worth exploring if you haven't been before or if it's been a while.

We have been to the old tree many times but have only gone inside a couple. Today, during a long walk, one of our group had an emergency stop needed and the museum was the closest place. We decided to go in and look around. It was only $5 for adults and $1 for the kids. Many of the exhibits change every few months. The one room had paintings that appear to be backlit but the staff explained the projection lighting they use to achieve the effect. They were very sweet. We had a lovely visit so i guess sometimes when you need to go, you'll end up where you need to be.
