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 one million experiences through major exhibitions, a permanent collection, interactive galleries, the 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.
