Renewing a Riverside Landmark
The long-anticipated renewal of the Museum of Riverside’s historic downtown site will preserve the distinctive character of the original 1912 U.S. Post Office building while creating more accessible, community-centered spaces for exhibitions and programs.

|
Then and now: the original 1912 plans and the space today. As we renew the museum, the integrity of this historic landmark is a priority.

 Aerial rendering of the future Museum of Riverside
Designed by Pfeiffer Partners, a Perkins Eastman Studio, and constructed by Irvine-based BNBuilders, the project was shaped through extensive community input and reflects a shared commitment to honoring the past while preparing for the museum’s future. Supported by funding from Measure Z and the City of Riverside, this transformation will allow the museum to better serve the public through modernized infrastructure and expanded offerings. Guests at the groundbreaking are invited to meet the project team, view original building plans, and learn more about the vision behind the Museum of Riverside’s next chapter.
