Gilded: The Art of Heritage House
The Museum of Riverside will open its fall highlight exhibition at Heritage House with Gilded: The Art of Heritage House. This exhibition will take a close look at the fine and decorative arts that capture every visitor’s attention upon entering this grand Victorian home in Riverside and will introduce some new pieces to the house! The Victorian era—when Heritage House was designed and built—is a complex historic period, and Gilded: The Art of Heritage House examines some of the reasons why.
Gilded: The Art of Heritage House will be on view September 11 through November 29, 2026.
