The Mennello Museum of American Art is a folk-art lover's dream, showcasing an extensive permanent collection of paintings by noted folk artist Earl Cunningham.

In addition, the museum helps to educate and enlighten the community through special exhibitions, publications and programs celebrating the outsider art and artists that have created the American folk art movement.

In his lifetime, Earl Cunningham painted more than 400 landscapes, of which a large number reside at the Mennello Museum.

Cunningham was noted for his flat perspective, vivid colors and incongruous additions to the landscape, such as flamingos in Maine and Viking ships in Florida.
