About Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens

The Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens was founded in 1946 by Ormond Beach residents as a living monument to creative freedom and equality of all persons, and to commemorate the service of World War I & II veterans who fought valiantly for that ideal. The work of prominent Florida, regional and national artists is featured in shows throughout the year at OMAM, and the museum exhibition committee also hosts an annual student exhibition and other unique originally curated shows. The exhibition calendar is varied and includes works in all media and styles. A permanent collection of paintings donated by artist Malcolm Fraser in 1946 anchors the Museum galleries. The surrounding gardens are a natural oasis of lush local plants, waterfalls and winding paths. Admission is free, but a $2 per person donation is requested for the museum.
