St. Augustine: Selections from the Roberts Collection

In 2020, Samuel H. and Roberta T. Vickers gifted their extensive collection of Florida-themed art to the University of Florida's Harn Museum of Art. From May of 2022 through May of 2023, an exhibition of selected works from that collection are on display at the Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum at 48 King Street in St. Augustine. 

The items chosen for this exhibit are works of art created by artists who painted in St. Augustine during the 19th and 20th centuries. Many of the views are easily recognized renditions of the City Gate, the Castillo, and buildings on Aviles Street painted over 100 years ago. In addition to the obvious landmarks, themes include St. Augustine's coastline, waterways, and courtyards. presenting a lovely visual record of St. Augustine and her denizens.
