Peoria Riverfront Museum, Interactive museum in downtown Peoria, United States.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum is a science and art museum in downtown featuring five exhibition galleries for different subjects. The collections include regional artworks, natural science objects, and historical pieces arranged in spacious, light-filled galleries.
The museum opened in 2012 and continued the work of the earlier Lakeview Museum, which had served the community since 1965. The new riverfront location marked a fresh start for cultural institutions in downtown.
The museum displays regional artworks and natural science objects that reflect the history and identity of Peoria. Visitors encounter decorative items, crafts, and local artifacts that document everyday and artistic traditions of the area.
The building sits right by the river with convenient parking and clear interior layout that visitors can easily navigate. The exhibitions are spacious, making exploration comfortable even when the museum is busy.
The museum forms the center point of a vast solar system model that stretches across the entire region, with planets represented at other locations. This sprawling project physically connects the building to the broader urban landscape.
