About the Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens:

The OMAM was founded at the conclusion of World War II to Inspire our community through art and nature while honoring those who fought for freedom. Local veterans returning from service volunteered their time to assist in building the museum and clearing the land for the gardens. Today the museum continues that mission with diverse and engaging exhibitions, educational opportunities, and free outreach programming for those least likely to have access to a cultural center or a botanical garden. OMAM re-opened in May 2022 after a 2 year – four-million-dollar renovation project with an increased capacity and ability to serve the community and fulfill our mission. The Memorial Gardens are free and open to the public daily from sunrise to sunset. The Museum galleries are open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 4pm and Sunday from Noon – 4pm. Admission is free for Museum members and Veterans with a suggested donation of $2 per person for other.
