Great experience, I decided to stop here on a whim and was immediately and enthusiastically greeted by the woman at the front desk. She spoke to me as if it was her first day there, eagerly sharing some of the buildings history in a very refreshing way- information Im sure she has to repeat on a daily basis. Lovely historic building with a central courtyard/atrium flooded with light, lots of beautiful and interesting details all around. My visit was mid-day in the middle of the week and Im pretty sure I was the only person in the entire place perusing the exhibits. Every gallery I went into was empty which was fantastic and immersive. Decent mix of art forms and styles. I have to admit I was left wanting for more; the museum has 3 main galleries, a few small displays in between and the rest seemed to be for classes/activities/studios/administrative. Recommended if you want something to do for $5. I spent ~30-40 minutes casually browsing the building. Parking is free on Lime st in front of the business offices.

Me and my Husband were down here for a doctors appointment and decided that we wanted to spend some time together and do something different so we chose here because it was close. It turned out even better than we expected. :) they had some cool exhibits with some live reptiles and insects upstairs. Downstairs they had a cool military display and nice wildlife exhibits. You donate what you want but there are little boxes on the wall that has a suggestion of $3 per adult well worth it if you are just looking for something out of the ordinary to do.

Just moved to Murrieta from Chicago two weeks ago. SO glad I had RAM on my list of places to visit - the architecture of the building inside and out is beautiful, the variety of the artists work and quality was very enjoyable, the atmosphere is reserved but not stuffy, love the gift shop! Thank you RAM.

Not free, but admission is cheap, and cheaper if you are a student or a veteran. The art selection was impressive, but I felt it wasnt what I expected. Still very cool, but most of it was not "my kind of art". But thats OK, I respect and appreciate other artistic views.

This may be a small art museum, but its still very nice. Its rarely ever crowded, although I did visit around 3pm on a Tuesday. It has a nice rooftop area and students can get $3 admission with their IDs. Id love to visit again in the future.

Nice place - ridiculous excuses for art. I saw a. Inch of plywood randomly colored on with a black sharpie. I saw a picture of an older bald man with no shirt and an octopus on his head. No, I aint kidding

“A nice place to preview arts” visited just before sundown and loved the scenery. 3 couples were looking for a place to visit in Riverside and found this quite gem. Took some pictures and the surrounding

great experience on a beautiful Sunday. No problems finding parking. The staff was friendly and the museum is very welcoming. We enjoyed all of the exhibits and would love to go again in the future.

The two main exhibition rooms are closed for installation right now, so the rest of the areas are free admission. Some nice drawings on the second floor
