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 current exhibitions, enjoy the beauty of the museum grounds, and reflect on the enduring impact of Arthur I. Appleton’s gift to Marion County and beyond.
