Ormond Memorial Art Museum to undergo $3.5 million renovation
At the corner of Granada Boulevard and South Halifax Drive is a beautiful garden shaded by the Ormond Memorial Art Museum.
Sprawling palms and ferns overcast smooth ponds, and walking paths and wooden benches offer places to soak in the sights or meditate. The sound of cars and busy streets are easily replaced with the gentle murmuring of a waterfall fountain at the entrance of the garden and the white noise of nature.
Many people may not realize the spacious garden is even there behind the museum. But after almost $4 million was raised to expand and renovate the art museum, Ann Burt, former museum director, thinks that’s going to change.
