Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens

Did you know we have live music on Fridays from 1pm to 3:30pm?? Our volunteer Merriam Paul comes and plays the piano for our guests every week and what a delight it is! Her beautiful music fills the museum and is the perfect addition to museum tours. Come by and enjoy it for yourself now that we are open once again ! We are open Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Admission is $5 per person (veterans and children 12 and under are free). Our grounds are open and free for every...one to enjoy. Interested in being a volunteer yourself? Contact us at 951-845-2626 or [email protected] for more information. https://youtu.be/cYFVUoOiqSU

The museum is excited to announce we will be opening next Thursday, 3/25! Please come by and see the changes we've made in the museum, enjoy our beautiful gardens, and take a look at our newest exhibit, For Those Who Serve! Our museum hours are Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Cost is $5 per person, although veterans with ID and children 12 and under are free. The grounds are free to walk around and enjoy, including our koi pond and rose garden! The museum is following all procedures set in place by the State of California and Riverside County to ensure the safety of our guests and staff.

While the museum wasn't able to have our Annual Rose Pruning Clinic hosted by UCCE Master Gardeners of San Bernardino County, we were able to make a video to show how to care for your roses! Watch our rose garden get pruned and prepped for a beautiful bloom. Post pictures below of your own roses! Our rose garden is the perfect picnic spot, especially when the roses are in full bloom, so be sure to check our page and website often for updates regarding reopening! https://youtu.be/rpFRbr-0SGU

Miss going to museums? Well the staff here at the Edward-Dean Museum is bringing it to you! We've made a virtual tour so the public can still enjoy the treasures the museum has to offer. For those who have visited our museum before, see if you can spot some of the changes we made while we've been closed! We want to thank you all for your continued support. Check back on our page for updates as we patiently wait to reopen and show our newest exhibit, "For Those Who Serve".

The museum put together a video about the latest exhibit, "Pieces of Time: Quilting and Fabric Art in America". Since the museum was closed a majority of the time the exhibit was on display, we wanted to ensure our customers had the chance to still see this wonderful exhibit!
