Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art

For centuries, painters sat on dewy tree logs in meadows and art studio stools across Florida creating what has become the biggest collection of Florida art on display for the first time at the new Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art that just opened this February!

 

Over 400 works show long-gone buildings and serene scenes of the Florida landscape, capturing sunrises, birds in flight, and blossoming wildflowers. The works cover a 200-year span of Florida dating back to the 1700s.The entire collection is comprised of 2600 works of Florida art. It will take about 10 years to rotate all of it through the museum display. 

In addition to a large gallery space including a mezzanine, which showcases the collection’s signature pieces, the innovative Museum includes 6 changing galleries ranging from 900 to 2,000 square feet: the Florida Weather Gallery, the Florida Communities Gallery, the Volusia County Gallery, and more. There are also conference and education rooms, a café with outdoor seating and a gift shop.

The Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum is on the Museum of Arts and Sciences (MOAS) campus on Nova Road. Admission is $10.95 for adults, $8.95 for seniors and students. Hours are the same as those of MOAS: Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 11am-5pm. The first Tuesday of every month offers free admission. 

The Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art is a true jewel in the Greater Daytona Beach Area. You can literally spend hours immersing yourself in beautiful art and Florida history. Whether you are visiting or live here permanently, this museum is not to be missed! More Info
