Can’t say enough good things about the art and the people here who run it. Always love coming in to see what is new. Also make sure you check out the music performances they put on at the amphitheater on regular basis.

Small, yes. But fantastic location for all kinds of exhibits and possibly fundraising events. I’ve lived here for 5 years and never really knew that this old school building was a functioning museum until I walked by on the ave after a local art fest that was nearby. Saw the signage displaying the dates and names of the current art exhibit which is the works of paper art of all kinds. Right now, until August 24th2014, the Paper Art exhibit is on going. It is of paper mache sculptures, scherenschnitte(beautiful and complicated art of cutting paper designs from one piece of paper without breaking it), collages, and many other art works done with using paper. The admissions lady mentioned that at the end of the exhibit in August or September, they will have a new exhibit that features the art works of local artists. I will be returning for that for sure. Admission is 5 dollars(money is used to help maintain the building, run electricity, and advertise their museum). Hours are from 9? until 4:30pm(doors close at 4:30, but you can look however long you want if you come in before 4:30) and they are usually closed on Mondays.

I vaguely knew about museum at Old School Sq and am happy a friend convinced me to finally go. Such a hidden gem! The volunteer at the front was extremely friendly and ready to share the museum’s rich history — like how it was built in 1913 and how it was a former elementary school. Their current exhibit features the stories of pirates and runs through late October. I was a bit skeptical at first but I think they do a good job of making it an interactive experience. Kids and families would love it. It features Don Maitz, the artist who made image of Captain Morgan famous — very interesting. Upstairs they continued the exhibit as well as knick knacks from the 30s, 40s and 50s mainly.

I must begin by saying I love Delray Beach! Sooo much culture on every corner! Instead of partaking in delicious food, met up with a Unilocal friend to visit the Cornell Museum at Old School Square! Admission is reasonable although the facility is small in size. The current exhibit featured vibrant photos and history. Like many other museums, the exhibits change over time. The museum is a two story home that has been a Delray treasure for over 100 years! Great history there. Interactive children’s room on the second floor for the kiddies! Plenty of parking options around the area – some for free even.
