Cornell Fine Arts Museum

The richly diverse art collection of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College boasts more than 6,000 works, one of the largest and most distinguished collections in Florida. It is also the oldest in the state, the first paintings having been given to Rollins almost a century ago.

Since 1988, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum has organized a number of powerful exhibitions based on (or drawn entirely from) its own collection. Italian Renaissance and Baroque Painting in Florida Museums, and exhibition using works from the Cornell and other Florida museums, opened in 1991 to record crowds. Other exhibitions, such as Winslow Homer: The Illustrator and A Celebration of American Art, were equally popular. A major showing for the Museum's 15th anniversary in 1993, Treasures of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, resulted in the publication of a 142-page collection handbook and a statewide tour of the exhibition.

The museum is located at the end of Holt Ave, on the Winter Park campus of Rollins College. From I-4, exit at Fairbanks Ave. Turn right onto Park Ave and then immediately left onto Holt Ave and proceed to the end. Parking is available in the adjacent "H" lot and in the parking lot next to the Field House.
