## About

An art museum on the St. Johns River in Riverside with permanent galleries, special exhibitions and historic riverfront gardens, all included in general admission. Children 5 and under are free, which makes a short gallery-and-garden visit easy with little ones; the gardens close at museum closing time or dusk, whichever comes first, and close in bad weather. The museum runs a regular schedule of free-admission windows, including the first Saturday of each month (except ticketed events), and its family programs such as Artful Storytime and Creative Kids are posted on its events calendar. Accessible parking is in the Riverside Avenue lot and at the Art Connections entrance.
