The only multidisciplinary museum of its kind in the nation, Peoria Riverfront Museum uses art, science, history and achievement to inspire confidence, lifelong learning, and talent. Since opening in 2012, the privately funded museum has provided more than 1.2 million experiences through major exhibitions, a permanent collection, interactive galleries, a dome planetarium, giant screen theater, educational programming including curricula-related experiences for all students, and thousands more every week on virtual digital resources. The AAM-accredited, Smithsonian-affiliated nonprofit museum is supported by more than 4,500 members and donors. The private museum is housed in a county-owned LEED Gold-certified building on a campus overlooking the Illinois River. For more information visit RiverfrontMuseum.org.
