Museum of Art - Deland Downtown — Attraction in DeLand

I'm a brand new teacher. I teach art at IYF Orlando Academy, we are a non-profit organization, and I have to take my students to the field trip on april 26th. I didn't know what to do. I came to check out the museums in Deland downtown, they were closed, then I went on to the main museum, which is connected to the downtown museum. I met with many staffs, and one of them name was Debra. Sorry, I forgot her last name. And I'm sorry if I do not mention your names here. I'm so terrible with remembering names.... So, as i introduced myself and my school, i also asked for the waivers and stuff, etc. Debra is a good listener and very patient to me. She helped me so much, I have to say she was the one who made the trip happen, and i just followed it. Finally, they gave us a warm welcoming during the trip, and it turned out so amazing. My students had so much fun and I had so much fun. We were 14 people, and we didn't have to pay for the admission fees. Drabra even conducted a good story about the artist and photographer, Thomas D. Mangelsen is an amazing and talented human being. she educated my students and gave a 10-15 minute speech to the students. I am so thankful for everything you guys have done for our academy. I will never look at those pictures the same as I first saw it. The downtown museum is now opening to the public now. I really recommend everyone to visit both museums if you made it to one of them. Any days of the week...

This museum is split across two locations. The price of admission is low and allows visits to both locations over a 3 day period. It's a good deal, especially if you see the art at both locations. This location is at the center of town in DeLand. We visited the other location first because we were sure we would find parking there. Fortunately, we found parallel parking right on Woodland Blvd close to the museum. The art gallery is on the second floor, with a gift shop occupying the first. The art when we visited was almost entirely from the same artist who likes to use cut white paper as media in various ways. The piece of art that we were most drawn to was the largest one and took up one entire wall. It was described as capturing the artist's childhood fear of riding her bike on a busy street. The massive cut paper design features SUVs and a girl tumbling off her bike. After taking in much of the detail, we realized something. The entirety of the paper was textured the same way paper that is left on asphalt and run over by vehicle tires would be. While all the other pieces of her artwork were good, this is the one that made our visit great. Something like this is why we love...

There is no question that for an art museum in a small town, our Museum of Art is a world class exhibit. It's not too big is size but it's huge in style.

The museum's gift store is also one of the finest I've seen around. My family goes in several times a year and we always walk out with something interesting and cool, if not useful. If you look up eclectic in the dictionary you might find a nice picture of this gift shop.

If you can't find just the right gift for the person that needs nothing elsewhere, you may...
