The Mennello Museum of American Art

The Mennello Museum of American Art endeavors to preserve, exhibit, and interpret the Museum’s outstanding permanent collection of paintings by Earl Cunningham. The Museum also seeks to enrich the public through special exhibitions, publications, and programs that celebrate other outstanding traditional and contemporary American artists.

The Mennello Museum of American Art is bursting with history! Founded in 1998 in the former home of Howard Phillips, son of local philanthropist Dr. Phillip Phillips, the museum began as a mission to preserve and exhibit paintings by American Folk Artist Earl Cunningham.
Now 25 years later, MMAA is focusing even deeper on the rich diversity of American art and making it inclusive to all. Programs such as Free Family Fundays, Saturday Speaker Series, Story Time in the Galleries and more make celebrating and educating on traditional and contemporary American art accessible to the community.
In addition to the intimate gallery space, museum-goers can explore the sculpture garden and nature along the Urban Trail, including the 350-year-old live oak affectionately named "The Mayor". On Sundays, guests can join in lakeside yoga before heading inside to see their favorite or a new display.
