Free Admission Weekend

Join us for a special weekend of free admission in celebration of the life and legacy of museum founder Arthur I. Appleton (1915-2008).

Arthur I. Appleton established the museum to share his extraordinary collection of art and artifacts with the public, ensuring that generations to come could be inspired by creativity, culture and history. Each year, we honor his vision and generosity by opening our doors to the community at no cost.

Bring family and friends to explore the permanent collection and special exhibitions, enjoy the beauty of the museum grounds, and reflect on the enduring impact of Mr. Appleton’s gift to Marion County and beyond.

From 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Saturday, enjoy pop-up performances in the cafe throughout the day by Heartstrings & Harmonies. These short sets will celebrate Arthur I. Appleton’s era and his love of the arts with jazz standards and swing classics from the 1920s-40s.

Hours on Saturday are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-5 p.m.
