Project Detail
Located within the City of Daytona Beach, the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art is a 25,000 SF expansion of the Museum of Arts and Sciences. More than a traditional art museum, the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art is a history museum, conveying Florida’s history through works of art. The museum houses a large collection of art donated to the museum by long-time community leaders Cici and Hyatt Brown. The Brown collection consists of over 2,600 paintings of Florida, some dating back to the early 1800s, and is the most extensive collection of Florida art in the world. The Brown collection inspired the design: the donors requested that this new-hurricane proof building reflect the Cracker style buildings of old Florida. With a form that incorporates a modern interpretation of an old wooden barn, the museum includes state-of-the-art lighting and environmental controls to preserve the paintings. In addition to permanent gallery space to house the collection, the facility includes rotating galleries, an education center, a café, and a museum gift shop. The facility includes both interior and exterior gathering spaces for large events served from a central kitchen and catering preparation area. Master site planning required extensive site work, including permitting through federal, state and local agencies due to wetland conditions. The location embraces the many heritage trees on the site and protects the existing wetlands.
