Your Local Museum, Reimagined
We’re still the Museum of Art + History you know and love, located in the iconic, historic City Hall building.
But now, we’re reimagining the visitor experience with all-new exhibits, expanded access to our collections, ADA improvements throughout the building, and community-driven storytelling that reflects the people and places of Jefferson County.
This April, experience Jefferson County’s rich past and its evolving future in a whole new way.
One Museum
The newly imagined museum is organized around a single theme: Home.
Through art, history, and community voices, the exhibits explore what home means across Jefferson County.
