Exhibit Schedule

Housed in the restored 1913 Delray Elementary building, the Cornell Museum was dedicated in 1990 as the visual arts center and named in honor of Delray residents Harriet W. and George D. Cornell. Restored very close to its original appearance, the museum provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors are met with the historic beauty and charm of the building as they enter the two-story atrium, which also serves as gallery space. The first floor houses three exhibition galleries and the Angelique Tea Room, which provides an intimate space for exhibit receptions and special events. The second floor houses three exhibition galleries and an interactive children’s gallery. The museum features regional, national and international exhibits of fine art, craft and American pop culture, which rotate every three to four months.  The museum also presents artist showcases, demonstrations, family events and other unique opportunities.

The Cornell Museum of Art & American Culture is located to the south of the Crest Theatre building, and is connected to the Crest Theatre building’s Ocean Breeze Room and portico by a covered loggia.
