The Hermitage offers an outstanding collection of original sculptures, inspired whimsy, and humor. Works of art are on display in both outdoor and indoor settings, as the museum opens into a subtropical garden with trails winding through the hillside. Visitors come to appreciate art in new ways—with fresh insights into the unfamiliar, the provocative, and the unexpected. The collection includes more than 260 bronze busts: 43 presidents, 126 authors, 72 composers, and 22 others. Many of the sculptures, including life-sized bronzes, are mounted outdoors in a unique setting with thousands of remarkable subtropical plants, including rare and exotic flowering trees. You will find many surprises there!
Important information about the field trip: The museum and 10-acre property rest on hilly terrain with steps and paths on two adjacent properties. The guided tour will walk about 1.5 miles and climb the equivalent of seven floors with some uneven terrain. There are minimal railings and no benches along the route. Tours last 2 hours.
