Collection Conversations assembles a selection of works from the Cummer Museum’s permanent collection, reimagining how each work of art is intertwined with the next. The installation promotes a fresh dialogue between the works exploring themes, history, relationships, form, style and more, spanning centuries of artistic connections.
By juxtaposing formal and thematic bonds, Collection Conversations invites you to contribute to the ongoing conversation about the Museum’s collection.
